(BQ) Part 1 book "Organic chemistry principles in context" has contents: From cellulose and starch to the principles of structure and stereochemistry, a survey of the experiments usually performed by chemists to understand the structures of organic molecules - mass spectrometers, infrared spectrometers and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers,.and other contents. | What the Experts Say About this Book (continued from the book’s back cover) “Keeping the logic of organic chemistry, Professor Green leads the reader through the most important topics of this field of science in an unusual fashion. Reading the manuscript allows the knowledge to be absorbed without an awareness that one is learning. The book is therefore not only very useful, but even very entertaining. Important parts of the history of chemistry are embedded in an excellent manner into the appropriate places of the text allowing the subject to be presented in a broad sensible context. I recommend this book to all students and teachers dealing with organic chemistry.” — Peter Huszthy, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary “This unusual textbook boldly questions our current approach to teaching organic chemistry and provides an alternative that is both unique and sensible. All too often, textbooks of organic chemistry present context-less elementary principles that rely on rote memorization, and only later do the “cool” and breathtaking applications of those principles come to be discussed. By drawing on riveting examples, this book reverses that approach by discovering the elementary principles in the wonderful applications of organic chemistry in our lives and uses this context to spur student learning. Such an approach, which more closely aligns with the natural learning process, could well be the answer to teaching this fascinating subject in a fun and effective way.” — Dasan M. Thamattoor, Colby College “I looked at this book out of pure curiosity. I opened the book at random and started to read. After a while I became so interested that I read on and on and missed a prior appointment. The book describes organic chemistry, the way it came about in the last 200 years. It is an irresistible read.” — Arnost Reiser, Polytechnic Institute of New York University “The idea of your book is new and revolutionary. It may take time for many people
