Book Description
The parasitic load in cold northern climates is widely under-appreciated. Many texts on parasitology concentrate on tropical parasitic infections, so the reader can be forgiven for thinking that parasites are not a problem in the northern part of the world. Parasites of the Colder Climates redresses the balance by focusing on parasites indigenous to the cooler climates of the northern hemisphere. A multi-authored text-with chapters covering Scandinavia and the Baltic States, Canada, Alaska, Iceland and Russia-this book provides a comprehensive overview of the parasites present in northern climates and the diseases that they cause. Topics include epidemiology, biology and pathogenesis, clinical presentations, laboratory investigations and methods for laboratory diagnosis. Parasites of the Colder Climates presents a concise single reference of diagnostic methods and preventative information for epidemiologists, clinicians and parasitologists and forms a unique account suitable for researchers, advanced undergraduates and postgraduates.
Book Description
The new edition continues to offer a wide variety of organic lab experiments for both standard and microscale formats and features unusually strong coverage of spectroscopy.

Strong Coverage of Spectroscopy, interesting labs.......2001-04-15
This book contains an exceptionally strong coverage of spectroscopy. Proton and carbon NMR are well explained, with detailed tables to predict and justify chemical shifts. IR spec is also well explained. A limited discussion of mass spec is also present. The laboratory exercises are clear in most cases, with a few minor exceptions. Be sure to read the instructions before lab as a few exercises contin ambiguous instructions that become more clear if the entire lab is read first. The number of syntheses is excellent, and many laboratory exercises contain interesting procedures that result in various colored, or common products. As a student of one of the authors, Dr. Douglas F. Taber, I have found this book to be a useful reference for spectroscopy as well as an excellent lab text.
Book Description
This highly effective and practical manual is designed to be used as a supplementary text for the organic chemistry laboratory course - and with virtually any main text - in which experiments are supplied by the instructor or in which the students work independently. Each technique contains a brief theoretical discussion. Steps used in each technique, along with common problems that might arise. These respected and renowned authors include supplemental or related procedures, suggested experiments, and suggested readings for many of the techniques. Additionally, each chapter ends with a set of study problems that primarily stress the practical aspects of each technique, and microscale techniques are included throughout the text, as appropriate. Additional exercises, reference material, and quizzes are available online.

Good student text.......2000-06-28
The authors give a nice presentation of theory involved in recrystallization, distillation, chromatography, and extraction. The writing style is academic, but friendly enough to keep you interested. I found it great to read before doing the scheduled experiments in O-Chem lab. However, this is a very "student"-ish text and I seriously doubt professionals would find it useful, unless you're looking for a refresher course in the basic techniques. The labs I took had a significant amount of NMR involved; not much discussion in this text about that. The problems provided are usually good, but there are no answers given. I'd also recommend "Principles and Techniques in an Integrated Chem Laboratory" by Aikens, Bailey, et al.
Book Description
This flexible, reliable, accurate manual includes both macroscale and microscale procedures for each experiment. The level and writing style of the text, which emphasizes biochemical and biomedical applications, make it ideally suited for the mainstream organic chemistry laboratory.
Microscale experiment options allow instructors to purchase costly chemicals in small quantities while minimizing issues of environmental impact and hazardous waste disposal. Macroscale versions can be used for less costly experiments, giving students experience with the manipulation of conventional glassware.
- A student CD-ROM includes videos and photos related to the material in the text. Videos feature the exact glassware required for each experiment and demonstrate techniques for how to conduct experiments successfully and safely. Photos show lab equipment set-ups.
- Icons throughout the text direct students to the corresponding videos and photos on the CD-ROM. A letter or number code allows students to search the CD-ROM for the appropriate technique.
- "In this Experiment" is a new feature that appears before every microscale experiment. It presents the objective of the experiment and keeps students from getting bogged down in the minute details of experimental procedures.
- An instructor web site provides a forum where instructors can communicate directly with the text author about specific experiments and the implementation of microscale techniques. The site also includes PDF files from the Instructor's Resource Manual.
- Material on mass spectroscopy has been added to Chapter 14.
Customer Reviews:
Very practical text to be used in the organic laboratory.......1998-08-28
Simply excellent. It provided adequate theory behind each of the experiments while explaining the experiments' procedures step by step.
Book Description
This traditional-scale lab book prepares readers to perform the fundamental operations of organic chemistry in the laboratory and apply the operations intelligently in new situations -- to think and act like an organic chemist. Features traditional-scale laboratory procedures which do not require expensive, special glassware and which provide enough material for visual and physical characterization. Contains 115 experiments -- 12 experiments that teach basic operations, 46 experiments that reinforce concepts, and 47 minilabs (shorter experiments that can be used to fill partial or shorter lab periods). Features many experiments that use common or household compounds. Provides a section on qualitative organic analysis. Includes sections on using the chemical literature, keeping a notebook, and planning a synthesis. For anyone interested in organic chemistry.

BECAREFUL!!!!.......2007-08-14
watch when buying this book the also in spiral bound option links you to the first editions lab manaul. the isbn numbers dont even match. why would you link two completely different books together is beyond me.
Chemistry lab book.......2005-09-17
Book took right around a month to get here. It was in okay condition, but I didnt have it in time for class.
Book Description
The 48 experiments in this well-conceived manual illustrate important concepts and principles in general, organic, and biochemistry. As in previous editions, three basic goals guided the development of all the experiments: (1) the experiments illustrate the concepts learned in the classroom; (2) the experiments are clearly and concisely written so that students will easily understand the task at hand, will work with minimal supervision because the manual provides enough information on experimental procedures, and will be able to perform the experiments in a 2 1/2-hour laboratory period; and, (3) the experiments are not only simple demonstrations, but also contain a sense of discovery. This edition includes many revised experiments.

Book Description
Asymmetric oxidation is a potent method for the stereo-controlled synthesis of functional highly compounds. Asymmetric Oxidation Reactions: A Practical Approach contains protocols for all the major methods of asymmetric oxidation reactions: the C-H bond, epoxidation of olefins, epoxidation using peroxides, dihydroxylation, aminohydroxyaltion, aziridination, hydroxylation of enolates and enols, Baeyer-Villiger oxidations, oxidations of sulfides, selenides, and other heteroatoms, and oxidation using biocatalysts. Each section is written by experts and as well as the protocols provides the reader with the features of the individual reactions, optimal reaction conditions, experimental precautions, and sample results. This book is therefore an indispensable laboratory companion to any chemist performing asymmetric oxidations.

Why Aren't More Women in Science?: Top Researchers Debate the Evidence
ASIN: 0841239509 |
Book Description
In spite of the increasing numbers of women entering graduate programs in the physical sciences and mathematics in recent years, they continue to remain underrepresented in tenure track academic positions in these fields. This symposium series book looks at the reasons for this under-representation of women in academic science. Social scientists examine the factors that are hindering women from attaining and advancing in these positions. The academic training of women in the US is examined as it relates to their placement in top universities. The situation of women chemists in Europe is also examined and best practices for the training and retention of women in academe are elucidated.
