"Chapter 17 is an excellent chapter�. It seems as though the author
has a particular fondness for this topic that shows in his
thoughtful and entertaining handling of the subject matter. The use
of color to help students follow the transfer of atoms and pieces
of molecules during catalytic reactions in this chapter is very
effective. The author is also commended for his frequent reminders
to the reader that these biological processes are comprised of
organic reactions that they have studied earlier in the book."
Alvan C. Hengge, Utah State University
"Chapter 9 is well organized and includes an appropriate selection
of material given the overall topic. The in-chapter problems are
well chosen and presented in a timely manner. The illustrations are
helpful and there are lots of end-of-chapter problems for students
to work." Steven Holmgren, Montana State University
"We have found the McMurry texts to be unique in their utility for
our two cycle approach and we are able to efficiently service two
groups of students with different needs. For these reasons, we have
been satisfied and have seen no reason for change." Robert Cameron,
Samford University
