N2  - The study of health and life sciences is incomplete without an understanding of biochemistry, which implies a knowledge of organic chemistry. Organic chemistry for Health and Life Sciences provides the student with the basis for understanding the chemical aspects of life processes.The first chapter introduces key aspects of organic chemistry, such as atomic and molecular structure, mechanism, nomenclature and stereochemistry. Building upon these principles, the next four chapters describe the chemistry of simple organic molecules, providing a stepping stone to more complex molecules of biological importance which are covered in the next four sections ... Organics Chemistry for Health and Life Sciences is written for students of biology, pharmacy, biochemistry and biomedical sciences. - Back cover
