Sheldon, Roger A.
". . .highly recommend[ed]. . .to all practicing organic chemists.
Roger Sheldon is one of the few people with the breadth of
experience to have authored it. The author has done an excellent
job in succinctly reviewing the basic principles of each technology
and then making a rapid transition to industrially important
applications. . . .it is a book I wish I had written. "
