Review
"Do any chemists or (pre-med students) who graduated in the last 40 years not tremble when they hear the phrase 'Morrison and Boyd'? More than 2 million students have used this book, now in its sixth edition."
—From Chemistry, Spring 2001 issue in which R.T. Morrison and R. N. Boyd's Organic Chemistry was named one of the Silver Shelf winners in "The Great Books of Chemistry."
--Organic Chemistry --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.From the Publisher
For four decades, this text has been the source book for organic chemistry; over two million students have used this text since it was first published. The Seventh Edition represents the result of the authors' commitment to offer an ever more effective teaching and learning tool. Much of the material has been updated, rewritten, reorganized, and in some cases eliminated to provide a more accessible presentation and a greater emphasis on fundamentals.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The standard against which all other text books should be measured!,
By JanSobieski (United States of America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Organic Chemistry, 6th Edition (Hardcover)
O.K. Let's face it: what could be more boring than Organic Chemistry - right? WRONG! Morrison and Boyd's Organic Chemistry takes the pallid and dry subject of Organic Chemistry and imbues it with a vitality and interest that will stupefy you. Trust me, you cannot begin to fathom how effective this book is at making its subject interesting and more importantly understandable. The authors are brilliant at introducing a complex and arcane topic, incrementally building slowly and confidently a framework of knowledge and information that nearly makes, of all things, intuitive sense when they are through.Every educator should study Morrison and Boyd in an attempt to appreciate how it works its magic. I can say without reservation, this is the text book against which all others should be measured. You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Quite excellent, I loved this one,
By
This review is from: Organic Chemistry, 6th Edition (Hardcover)
I am not a Chemistry major, however I found Morrison & Boyd interesting. I used this book in high school for about 50% percent of the Chemistry syllabus in high school related to organic chemistry. The style of the authors was refreshing, and I found it easy to read large sections in short periods. I also found it easy to recall a lot of points as the book was written in such a way as to lead you from one point to the other, which style is the best for organic chemistry.Again, I used this book for a chemistry course in my freshman year, and I did not regret the decision. A wonderful book, it is a phenomenon in publishing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The Best book for Organic Chemistry fundamentals,
By Karthik Gurumurthy (gurumurt@research.umbc.edu) (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Study Guide/Solutions Manual for Organic Chemistry (Paperback)
I used this book for my undergrad and grad and I would consider this is as the best book for Organic Chem fundamentals. Mechanisms were dealt in a very simplistic and clear way which enable the reader to comprehend the subject easily. A Must read book for any person who is interested to learn Organic Chemistry....
