"Organic chemistry" by Joseph A. Klein is a textbook on organic chemistry written by one of the fathers of modern day chemical analysis, J. Alfred Klein. This textbook consists of more than 500 pages of highly accessible text providing fundamental information on the theories of organic chemistry as well as the techniques of applying these theories to real life situations. Organic chemistry is far from complete in its coverage of the entire subject, but the volume does give a good overview of what is involved in this exciting area of study. Klein presents his readers with the key concepts of organic chemistry as well as the supporting details necessary for experimentalists to conduct successful research in this field.

Organic chemistry is a subject that is often neglected in higher level studies, but "Organic Chemistry by Joseph A. Klein" provides a valuable portal to the essential concepts of this very important field. Organic chemistry is not simply a collection of laws and principles, but instead, it is an organized way of thought and analysis about how life forms develop through the interaction of their chemical parts. The concepts of organic chemistry are the basis for a wide variety of scientific disciplines including microbiology, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, zoology, botany, and ecology. Understanding these concepts is necessary for researchers to advance their research efforts in these many different areas.
In the introduction, Klein starts out with a simple discussion of the importance of the subject. Organic compounds are compounds composed of matter that has been altered by external agents. These compounds can be natural or artificial, and they can occur in living organisms as well as in rocks taken from geologists. The book's introduction touches on the historical development of the concepts of organic chemistry, gives a broad overview of the key concepts covered, and briefly reviews a few of the more detailed chapters.
