Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. ### A Short Organic Chemistry - 1955 - Fourth Edition ### ### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS PLEASE READ THE LAST PARAGRAPH ### ~#~ THIS book is a shorter version of the author's "Organic Chemistry" (Heinemann, 1933). While the longer text-book contains all the organic chemistry, other than pure biochemistry, which the medical student requires, this book includes all that is likely to be of use to the first-year student of the subject. It differs in content from the longer work chiefly in its shorter treatment of the Carbohydrates and heterocyclic compounds and the omission of more than passing references to the Purines, Terpenes, Triphenylmethane Dyes, Alkaloids and Proteins. The theoretical treatment of such topics as Stereoisomerism and the structure of the Aromatic Compounds is almost as full as in the longer book and, the matter dealing with the most straightforward and most essential compounds remains virtually unaltered. THIS BOOK: Corners have bumping, spine is faded and previous owners inscription on free endpaper page. The book is tight, spine still tight , all the pages are clean as far as I could see. If you understand all this then you know what you are looking for, my words wont help. #### INTERNATIONAL BUYERS? Please Note.
