Organic Chemistry: A Short Course
By Harold Hart, Christopher M. Hadad, Leslie E. Craine, David J. Hart
About your course materials
The only textbook designed specifically for the one-semester short course in organic chemistry, this market leader appeals to a range of non-chemistry science majors through its emphasis on practical, real-life applications, coverage of basic concepts, and engaging visual style. In contrast to other texts for the course that are streamlined versions of full-year texts, this text was created from the ground up to offer a writing style, approach, and selection of topics that uniquely meet the needs of the short course. The Thirteenth Edition builds on the strengths of previous editions through an updated, dynamic art program--online, on CD, and in the text--new content that keeps students current with developments in the organic chemistry field, and a revised lab manual.

VISUALLY DYNAMIC ART PROGRAM. The art program offers beautifully designed electrostatic potential maps to aid discussions of acid-base chemistry, as well as ball-and-stick structures that help students visualize molecules in three dimensions.
USE OF ARROW PUSHING FORMALISM. This assists professors teaching reaction mechanisms.
WORKED OUT EXAMPLES AND PRACTICE PROBLEMS. These exercises and problems guide students through learning and mastering chapter concepts. End-of-chapter problems gradually increase in difficulty, reinforcing basic principles and problem-solving skills before moving on to more challenging ones.
ACCOMPANYING LABORATORY MANUAL. Developed with the assistance of co-author T.K. Vinod at Western Illinois University, the lab manual includes an experiment on green chemistry, pre-laboratory exercises, and safety instructions to students.
