Organic chemistry: A comprehensive degree text and source book

H Beyer, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University, W Walter, University of Hamburg, Germany and D Lloyd, University of St. Andrews, UK

A prime example of the European Lehrbuch at its best: thoroughly up-to-date, comprehensive, lucidly written. To my knowledge there is no comparable book for students with basic knowledge of organic chemistry.
Journal of the American Chemical Society

Its virtue lies in its complementarity to other sources in a single volume. Includes much of industrial relevance, largely missing from modern textbooks, and pays due attention to biochemistry.
Angewendte Chemie International

Contains a considerable amount of up-to-date chemistry, a delightful blend of old and new. The significant feature is the vast amount of material it contains. An invaluable reference, the chemical equivalent of a sedate gentlemen’s club.
Chemistry in Britain

This book deals with purification methods, chemical bonding theory and spectroscopic methods and is a reference book for chemists at any stage of their career. Rich in practical applications and historic vignettes, its lavish provision of knowledge reflects the authors deliberate strategy to place chemistry in the widest perspective, providing a sound understanding of this complex and important branch of science.
