Abstract

The book is directed at the one-semester organic course taught at most colleges and universities. Students in these classes are typically enrolled in agricultural, environmental, forestry, and health-related programs and need a basic level of understanding of organic chemistry principles for their chosen occupations (whether they realize it or not!). Oftentimes this class is taught without a lab and it represents the first and only time that organic principles are presented to these students.
