Title: Pushing Electrons: A Guide for Students of Organic Chemistry by Daniel P. Weeks ISBN: 0-03-020693-6 Publisher: International Thomson Publishing Pub. Date: 1998 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $39.00 |

Summary: Great Prep for organic
Comment: This book is not a substitution for organic chemistry by any means. It's mean (the first 2 chapters) to prepare, review, and reinforce concepts learned in Gen Chem but vital to organic.
The last 3 chapters are not review. They require some understanding of organic first. They are meant to reinforce and review what you learn in class.
So you can't just jump for chapter 1 and 2 directly into 3. One and two are meant for prior to organic. And 3 through 5 are to be used during the class.
It's definately got me several steps up on my classmates so far.

Summary: Great! But . . . . .
Comment: This book starts out great, because it really makes it clear for us idiots the reason electrons are pushed. It is an engaging study tool that makes you want to open the book everyday. The problem with the book, I'm now learning, is that I now know how to push electrons, but I still don't know when to apply what rules. I thought that the book would have talked more about how to identify electrophiles, and nucleophiles (with regards to reagents). Instead the books jumps for being really easy to follow, to asking the reader to attempt really complex mechanisms. That's like asking a kid who just learned his ABC's to write a book. Very poor ending.
However, for those of you who are clear on electrophiles and nucleophiles, this book would be perfect for you. I suspect that if you know those well, you might not need this book.

Summary: A must for students of Organic Chemistry
Comment: Having had Dr. Weeks as a professor in my college days, I could not reisist purchasing and reading this book. As an educator, Dr. Weeks was gifted in his ability to take difficult course material and convert it into material that was not only understandable, but enjoyable. He has accomplished this again with the third edition of his book. The mastery of electron movement in organic reactions makes the understanding of more complex aspects of organic chemistry more easily achieved. No organic chemistry student should be without this book.
