General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Structures of Life (5th Edition)

I am a college student about to start my second year of B.A. in Biological Sciences and purchased this book to read over the summer because I am going to take about a year of Organic Chemistry. The book's Organic Chemistry Chapters actually start at Chapter 12, so the ENTIRE book is not Orgo chem. However, the first half of the book is basic General Chemistry needed to understand Orgo and more, so it served as a nice reference material in case I forgot anything or if I wanted to revisit any past material that I kind of forgot. As for the Orgo Chapters, which I truly read and worked out, they were interesting to read, simple to understand and provided enough basis that I have a substantial foundation for organic Chemistry. It's a perfect, "Intro to Organic Chem" type of book. The book also includes tons of medical and biological applications and examples, making it more interesting and informative to read. Be warned however, if you are taking higher level Organic Chem other than the intro, like I will have to later, this book might not go into enough depth. This book is great if : a) you want to a good foundation for organic chemistry b) learn some applications or c) quickly review or reference anything you forgot.

I cant say much about the urgency of my copy's reception as it was just on time. Talk less of the low price. Searched all possible sites but this was cheapest. The content is good too well summarised

I know how we all feel about chemistry! Let me tell you chemistry is challenging and this book right here is going to be your bestfriend! Trust me when I say it soo most defensively get it! I’d recommend buying it so you can write in it! Science books like these are something you want to hold onto for life just incase!

Thank you for this book, even though I knew how it was gonna come. I’m still satisfied with my purchase.

It's a textbook so everything has to be fleshed out, understandably, but some very simple concepts Were made kind of complicated and lengthy when they didn't have to be. A common textbook fail. But still overall concisely written.

At first I was worried that this book was going to be different than what I needed for my college chemistry classroom, but I was thrilled to find out it was exactly what I needed. It was brand new and at a more affordable cost than what I was being offered at my school. I was thrilled when I got it because I was able to et to studying right away.

Renting this book actually helped a bunch! I didn’t end up needing it for my class but it helped me when it came down to understand a lesson more by going over examples in the book.

The book was thorough. It helped me to understand chemistry in a way that was easy to understand. I loved the chapter review questions at the end of each chapter.

Good book for uni Really simple to understand even though English is not my mother tounge language The exercises and examples are very helpful
