Organic Chemistry at a Glance
September 2004, Wiley-Blackwell
Based on the highly successful and student friendly “at a glance” approach, with integrated, self contained double page spreads of text and graphics, Organic Chemistry at a Glance provides concise organic chemistry notes for students studying chemistry and related courses at undergraduate level. Graphical presentation of information is central to the book and facilitates the rapid assimilation and understanding of the basic concepts, principles and definitions of organic chemistry. It is not intended to replace existing organic chemistry textbooks, but to provide a tool with which the student can quickly, economically and confidently acquire, regularly review and revise the basic facts that underpin organic chemistry.

* Contains the key principles required to gain a solid
understanding of organic chemistry, presented in a highly graphical
way to aid assimilation, understanding and recall.
* Structured presentation, with self contained double page spreads of linked text and illustrations, guides the student through the information in a way that complements bigger textbooks and provides a logical framework to aid revision
"[The book is] ideal for the target audiences and priced and
designed appropriately... well suited to the student who wishes to
dip into organic chemistry over the course of a degree."
The Times Higher Education Supplement, Feb 2004
"Organic Chemistry at a glance is a rare example
of a short format textbook that covers a great deal of ground
without sacrificing clarity in the persuit of brevity."
Education in Chemistry
"Good things come in small packages...the result is six
chapters and less than one hundred pages of the most concentrated
"essence" of organic chemistry that i have ever seen."
