So the textbooks they write cram as much information as possible into the books and present the material in as abstract and boring a manner as possible. The student has to be able to memorize a ton of apparently random unrelated stuff or he will drop the class.This book on the other hand is very well written with lots of examples and applications to make the subject interesting. If you just want to find out what organic chemistry is about, this is a good book to start. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Organic” must be one of the most terrifying words in the English Language *by S***D on October 20, 2020* Required of pre-meds it combines the rigor of chemistry with the arbitrary memorization of biology – but the latter is without the simple mnemonics possible in that subject. But “Organic” is so central to so much important science – tucked just below molecular biology – that I wanted to learn more. But (there’s that word again) perhaps no other subject hits the wall of diminishing return faster – unless you are going to be a practicing chemist, learning about all the different molecules is really pointless (and hopeless). Anyway, that’s the motivation for giving the Very Short Intro a try.So how well does it succeed? Maybe a B. Not so bad as to sink your med-school hopes, but not enough to make you consider doing and MD/PhD either.The first parts are the strongest and I wish they made up most of the book. There is the briefest review of chemistry proper. By far the most interesting part is on synthesis. How to get from building blocks from finished product is really amazing. Like writing a project plan for a complex building – parts, scaffolding, equipment, place holders, removal, adding new pieces, etc. etc. But instead of mechanical properties you need to think about the chemistry. The second half of the chapter on analysis was also fascinating, although more from the point of view of limitations and instrumentation than from the chemistry itself.Most of the rest of the book – at 162 pages hardly “very” short – is OK but a bit more problematic. Perhaps there is no other way to do it. The author has made the decision that the reader wants to know about the real world, like where DDT and PVC fit into it. So it meanders into related fields like chemical engineering, ecology, and medicinal and biochemistry. At its worst it is a catalog of names. Much better would have been to include a bunch of that stuff in tables and concentrate on a few underlying principles. ## Frequently Bought Together - Organic Chemistry: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) - Biochemistry: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) - Molecular Biology: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/42748657-organic-chemistry-a-very-short-introduction](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/42748657-organic-chemistry-a-very-short-introduction) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
