Author Description

A New Edition for the New Millennium: Thorough Revision-Streamlined Text: The Second Edition reflects extensive revision and selective reduction. The result is a streamlined text that strikes the ideal balance between comprehensive coverage and manageable length. More Biological Examples: In response to changing needs of students, Professor Jones has significantly increased the number of biological examples throughout the text. Strengthened Coverage of Spectroscopy: The Second Edition offers a "preview" of NMR spectroscopy in Chapter 2, enriching the early discussion of structure and reactivity. New Problems: New problems-many of them related to topics in spectroscopy and synthetic chemistry-have been added both to the text of the Second Edition and to the Supplementary Problems Set.
