Smith and Vollmer-Snarr's Organic Chemistry with Biological Topics continues to breathe new life into the organic chemistry world. This new fifth edition retains its popular delivery of organic chemistry content in a student-friendly format. Janice Smith and Heidi Vollmer-Snarr draw on their extensive teaching background to deliver organic chemistry in a way in which students learn: with limited use of text paragraphs, and through concisely written bulleted lists and highly detailed, well-labeled “teaching” illustrations. The fifth edition features a modernized look with updated chemical structures throughout. Because of the close relationship between chemistry and many biological phenomena, Organic Chemistry with Biological Topics presents an approach to traditional organic chemistry that incorporates the discussion of biological applications that are understood using the fundamentals of organic chemistry. See the New to Organic Chemistry with Biological Topics section for detailed content changes. Don’t make your text decision without seeing Organic Chemistry, 5th edition by Janice Gorzynski Smith and Heidi Vollmer-Snarr!

Finally readers have a shorter, less intimidating introduction to general, organic and biological chemistry! Not only is Raymond's text concise, it also takes an integrated approach to presenting important topics in a way that makes the material easier to understand. In this approach, similarities can be exploited and concepts reinforced. The result is that readers see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry.

Student's Solutions Manual to Accompany Organic Chemistry is a 27-chapter manual designed for use as a supplement to Organic Chemistry textbook by Stephen J. Weininger and Frank R. Stermitz. This book provides the complete answers to all the problems in the textbook and also contains several study features to help broaden and strengthen the knowledge of the material presented in each chapter. These features are applied in the organization of the manual, including Study Hints, New Mechanisms, Reactions, and Answers to Problems. This book focuses on the concepts of types of mechanisms and reactions for a class of compounds. The opening chapters cover topics such as organic structures, molecular bonding, alkanes and cycloalkanes, stereoisomerism and chirality, reactive intermediates, and interconversion of alkyl halides, alcohols, and ethers. These topics are followed by discussions on alkenes, physical methods for chemical structure determination, polymerization, alkynes, aromatic compounds, and Aldol condensation reactions. The remaining chapters tackle the chemistry, synthesis, and reactions of specific class of compounds. This book is directed toward organic chemistry teachers and students.

Following an integrated approach, this book walks health professionals through related general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry topics in adjacent chapters. This approach helps them see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry. The third edition utilizes numerous real-world examples to make the concepts more relevant. Within each chapter, boxes highlight high-interest, real-life applications based on the topics being discussed. Sample problems also help health professionals build problem-solving skills as they uncover the solutions.

General, Organic and Biological Chemistry, 4th Edition has been written for students preparing for careers in health–related fields such as nursing, dental hygiene, nutrition, medical technology and occupational therapy. It is also suited for students majoring in other fields where it is important to have an understanding of the basics of chemistry. An integrated approach is employed in which related general chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry topics are presented in adjacent chapters. This approach helps students see the strong connections that exist between these three branches of chemistry, and allows instructors to discuss these, interrelationships while the material is still fresh in students′ minds.
