Product Information

This unique book deals with the origins of contemporary terms in organic chemistry and thus treats an aspect of that science which is pertinent to both research and education. While delving into original publications for names, who coined them, and in what context, the authors contacted hundreds of chemists worldwide - an undertaking that extended over ten years. Although the book's main focus is terminology, it includes over 500 drawings and numerous human interest items which do not appear in the literature and would otherwise be lost to future generations. Anyone who teaches, works at, or otherwise deals with organic chemistry will find this volume informative, enjoyable reading and a valuable source of engaging material.

Reviews
As well as being full of humour, the book is authentic, scholarly, and fully supplied with references chapter by chapter. Many of these are to private communications of stories that would otherwise never come to public attention... Chapters are carved out ingeniously... The book is ideal for pick-up reading, since one can start and stop anywhere - if not seduced by the next interesting item. Science As well as being entertaining, this work also succeeds in its didactic purpose, presenting a wide array of unusual chemistry - much of which the student will not have met before. Faculty will surely use it for illustrative lecture material, and possibly for assigned supplemental reading. Choice As well as being full of humor, the book is authentic, scholarly, and fully supplied with references chapter by chapter...The book is ideal for pickup reading, since one can start and stop anywhere - if not seduced by the next interesting item. Science, Vol 239 The light style that Drs Nickon and Silversmith have used makes the book especially readable, and that style coupled with the subject matter makes the book a pleasure to persue... the book provides a great volume of material that can be used to spice up a lecture, it is a delight to read, and it is reasonably priced. Chemists of all types, but especially organic chemists, will be glad that they took the time to read this book. J Am. Chem. Soc. This lively book represents a novel way of writing the history of organic chemistry and of presenting recent work in the field... In contrast to its whimsical tone and novel organization, the book is a work of serious scholarship, with a large amount of information about recent work in organic chemistry clearly presented and copiously documented. American Scientist, Volume 77. This bare outline of the contents does nothing to indicate the unique combination of scholarly analysis, authenticated history and sparkling wit that pervade this book. It is far more than a reference book. It teaches much interesting chemistry and reveals with great force its human side: how chemists think and what makes them tick. This book is destined to become a best-seller. It has already been reprinted after only one year and deserves to be on the shelf of every chemist, from undergraduate onwards. At 20 it is very good value for money. It is not only a mine of information about names, but contains, as asides, much other amusing and interesting information, including reference to spoof articles and the 'co-worker' F D C Williard (F D = felix domesticus). It is the ideal bedside book for chemists; but insomniacs beware, it will keep you reading until dawn! Polymer International Volume 24 No 4
