'How to succeed in organic chemistry' gives the reader a solid understanding of the principles of organic reaction mechanisms, such that they can draw structures, stereoisomers and reaction mechanisms with confidence. Throughout, the author speaks the language of students to build their confidence and interest.

At heart, the book promotes active learning to ensure the necessary skills become so ingrained that they become something students simply cannot forget, and do not need to revise. As such, the book structures learning so that the reader encounters the right things at the right time, helping to 'internalise' key concepts.

Concepts, explanations and examples are presented in short, easy-to-read chapters, each of which explores one of a number of themes, including 'Basics', 'Habits', 'Common error', 'Reaction detail', and 'Practice'.

Digital formats and resources How to Succeed in Organic Chemistry is supported by online resources and is available for students and institutions to purchase in a variety of formats. - The e-book includes more than 60 author videos which are embedded in the text, and these discuss and offer solutions to problems posed in the text, providing a fully immersive experience and extra learning support. www.oxfordtextbooks.co.uk/ebooks - These videos are also available as a stand-alone online resource for use alongside the print book, where lecturers can also access the figures from the book for use in their teaching.

Recenzijos

I liked the slightly informal tone of writing, almost as if I was being taught one-to-one by the author. It felt personal and honest, as if the author wrote the book to help me personally. * Stephen Robertson, student, University of York * This book would be a chemistry student's friend. It is different to any I have read before. There is a comforting level of informality, where you felt like your friend was going through and explaining things to you. * Yasmine Biddick, student, University of Birmingham * This text represents a new way to teach organic chemistry and produce independent, critically thinking chemists; it acknowledges the connected world in which students live and utilises that to avoid the traditional endless lists of reactions for rote learning. Instead, this text focuses on the discipline and practice required by the novice and gives them the tools to become an expert. * Dr Jennifer Slaughter, Department of Chemistry, University of Manchester * This is a unique textbook that does something no other text does - it speaks the language of the modern student and is formatted with that in mind. * Professor Mark Bagley, Department of Chemistry, University of Sussex *
