Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

This revision retains the topical balance of the previous edition with half of the coverage devoted to organic chemistry and half to biochemistry. The underlying theme is the molecular basis of life and the text is completely up to date as evidenced by inclusion of discussions of lipoprotein complexes and the transport of cholesterol in the blood. Strong pedagogical aids include boldface terms, margin comments, worked-out examples, in- chapter exercises, illustrations, chapter summary, review questions and more. The book is designed for undergraduates in chemistry and allied health programs.

"This book is the last 20 chapters of another textbook, Fundamentals of general, organic, and biological chemistry, 3rd ed."--P. v.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
