Description

About the Author L.G. “Skip” Wade decided to become a chemistry major during his sophomore year at Rice University, while taking organic chemistry from Professor Ronald M. Magid. After receiving his B.A. from Rice in 1969, Wade went on to Harvard University, where he did research with Professor James D. White. While at Harvard, he served as the Head Teaching Fellow for the organic laboratories and was strongly influenced by the teaching methods of two master educators, Professors Leonard K. Nash and Frank H. Westheimer. After completing his Ph.D. at Harvard in 1974, Dr. Wade joined the chemistry faculty at Colorado State University. Over the course of fifteen years at Colorado State, Dr. Wade taught organic chemistry to thousands of students working toward careers in all areas of biology, chemistry, human medicine, veterinary medicine, and environmental studies. He also authored research papers in organic synthesis and in chemical education, as well as eleven books reviewing current research in organic synthesis. Since 1989, Dr. Wade has been a chemistry professor at Whitman College, where he teaches organic chemistry and pursues interests in organic synthesis and forensic chemistry. Dr. Wade received the A.E. Lange Award for Distinguished Science Teaching at Whitman in 1993. Dr. Wade’s interest in forensic science has led him to testify as an expert witness in court cases involving drugs and firearms, and he has worked as a police firearms instructor, drug consultant, and boating safety officer. He also enjoys repairing and restoring old violins and bows, which he has done professionally for many years.

with good illustrations and diagrams

I needed this textbook for an Organic Chemistry class and after two semesters, I found that this book was typically very clear explaining concepts, with good illustrations and diagrams, and problem solving hints for the in-chapter problems. If you register at MasteringChemistry online, you will have access to a digital text as well as power point presentations for each chapter that introduce the main topics. I ordered the book new, and it and access to MasteringChemistry came as ordered and I was glad to save some money vs. purchasing at the college bookstore.

it's a text book

To say I like this product is a bit weird since it's a text book. The conditioning of the text with Mastering Chemistry access code was awesome and met my expectations. The shipping was super fast (Amazon Prime). Recommended to any of you other poor people that also have to take Organic Chemistry...I feel your pain.

If you are taking Organic Chem, better to buy.

You definitely need this book if you are taking Organic Chem. You will use it not only for two semesters, but also for when you forgot the concept of Organic Chem.

Easy to understand

The author does a really great job to help you understand the material. The practice problems are very helpful the only con is the mastering chemistry portion, it's very time consuming and any little error input for answer will deduct points.
