Review Quotes:
A Holistic Approach to Organic Synthesis by Professor Phil Garner is an excellent approach
to teaching the intricacies of synthesizing organic molecules. Classic syntheses are provided along
with pertinent reactions in a pedological approach that students will find both useful and inspiring.
Tutorials are provided to reinforce the approach. I highly recommend this book for both senior
undergraduate and graduate level courses.
