Product Description
Serious Science with an Approach Built for Today�s Students . Smith's Organic Chemistry continues to breathe new life into the organic chemistry world. This student and instructor reviewed, new 2nd edition presents information in the form of bulleted lists and tables, with minimal use of text paragraphs. Janice Smith saw a great need for stepped-out worked examples; incorporated biological, medicinal, and environmental applications; and has built an art program that has yet to be seen in organic chemistry! Highlighting the art program are micro-to-macro art pieces that visually guide students to conceptually understand organic chemistry. Smith: Organic Chemistry is the text you need to see before making your organic chemistry decision..

 Great O-Chem Book! April 19, 2006

This book clearly teaches one how to do organic chemistry. I got an A in Organic Chemistry, but if I didn't have this book I would have failed. This book explains everything the professor didn't. It has a great study guide solutions manual, which gives details to the answers of all the problems.
Very well written August 23, 2005

Organic chemistry is extremely difficult but this book was written in a way that made it much easier to understand! There were excellent explainations and practice problems. I would definitly recommend this textbook.
Excellent Text (used the 1st Edition) July 15, 2007

Several sample problems are worked out in every chapter after each new concept to illustrate the material covered. They are all very clearly explained.
In addition, there are also more than enough problems at the end of each chapter to help students better understand the topics covered, however the answers are not provided in the back of the textbook (this is precisely why the solutions manual is a must buy).
I have worked all the problems presented from chapter 1 to chapter 21 (to include the end of chapter problems), and I have encountered only two or three "bad problems" for which the answers were not explained clearly. Almost every answer to every problem is clearly illustrated - some concepts are even better explained in the solutions manual than in the textbook!
I'd wish the buyer good luck in this class, but I doubt any disciplined, devoted student would need it after using this text with the solution manual.

this textbook is required by my chemistry professor at south dakota state university. It has a complimentary answer guide to the practice problems in the book. both books are informative for the information covered in my organic chemistry class.
Well written textbook September 29, 2008

This is a well written chemistry textbook. It's not nearly so dry as older style chemistry books and is filled with many real life examples that make the subject matter more interesting.
