"This book is already very well known to undergraduate students as an excellent introductionto the topic of organic chemistry. Now in its fourth edition, some new important additions have been made. Modern synthetic techniques have been introducted, some photochemical theory and reactions have been mentioned, nucleic acids now occupy a full chapter, and a lot more emphasis has been placed on spectroscopic techniques for structure elucidation. The number of worked-out sample problems within the chapters, as well as the large number of unsolved problems at the end of the chapters, makes this fourth edition even more attractive."

"""On September 27, 1066, Duke William of Normandy sailed for England with hundreds of ships and over 8,000 men.

"This is the story of the search for humanity's origins--from the Middle Ages, when questions of the earth's antiquity first began to arise, through to the latest genetic discoveries that show the interrelatedness of all living creatures. Central to the story is the part played by fossils--first, in establishing the age of the Earth; then, following Darwin, in the pursuit of possible "Missing Links" that would establish whether or not humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. John Reader's lifelong passion for this quest--palaeoanthropology--began when he reported on the celebrated "Lucy" finds in Ethiopia, for Life Magazine. Drawing on both historic and recent research, he tells the fascinating story of the science as it has developed from the activities of a few dedicated individuals, into the rigorous multidisciplinary work of today. His arresting… Read More
