Turning back to the yew tree, Fryhle noted that to keep up with the demand to create the anti-cancer drug, the pharmaceutical industry would have had to decimate the forests to harvest the tree, were it not for organic chemists who devised ways to synthesize Taxol in the laboratory.


Professors around the country provide detailed critical reviews of the text that help shape the revisions made by Fryhle and Solomons. Updating the text, study guide, and online material, where the slightest inaccuracy in a word or a bond angle can change the meaning of the chemistry, is incredibly demanding, but Fryhle obviously enjoys the task. The book is published about every three years, with the 11th edition due out at the end of 2012. Solomons first started writing the book in 1976.


Russian math and science textbooks are known for their rigorous and comprehensive approach to teaching these subjects. They often include a large number of practice problems and exercises, and focus on developing strong analytical and problem-solving skills in students.


While Russian textbooks may be more challenging for non-Russian students due to their emphasis on problem-solving and advanced concepts, they can still be a valuable resource for students looking to deepen their understanding of these subjects.


Russian chemistry and physics textbooks are typically structured in a logical and systematic way, with each topic building upon the previous one. They also tend to include a significant amount of theoretical and mathematical concepts, which are integrated with practical applications.


Russian math and science textbooks are known for their high level of difficulty, as they are designed to challenge students and help them develop strong problem-solving skills. They often cover advanced concepts and require a solid understanding of foundational principles.


Russian math and science textbooks are often considered to be more rigorous and demanding compared to textbooks from other countries. They place a strong emphasis on problem-solving and critical thinking, which can be beneficial for students in developing a deeper understanding of these subjects.


John McMurry's textbook Organic Chemistry has helped millions of students across the globe pass the infamous gauntlet of its namesake class -- also known among stressed-out pre-med students as "orgo" -- since the book was first printed in 1984.


For his bestseller's 10th edition, McMurry has decided to part ways with his longtime publisher, the industry giant Cengage, which has published the book since the beginning. He recently sold the rights to OpenStax, a nonprofit based at Rice University that is dedicated to developing open education resources (OER), learning and research materials created and licensed to be free for the user.


"My textbook is the best selling organic textbook in the world and has been for some time, but it's expensive. All textbooks are expensive," McMurry said. "I liked the notion of making my work free for anyone."


OpenStax will pay McMurry a licensing fee for the rights, as opposed to the traditional royalty model used by publishers like Cengage, but McMurry won't be accepting it. He plans to donate it directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, a nonprofit research center seeking a cure to the life-threatening genetic disorder, in memory of his son Peter, who passed away in 2019 after a decades-long battle with the disease.


Acquiring the rights to Organic Chemistry is a big deal for OpenStax, which has primarily focused on developing its own materials, largely for intro classes, since it was founded in 2012. It's also a potential watershed moment for OER as the movement for open access educational materials gains prominence in the academic publishing space.


"It's a big deal to see a top-tier author select an OER publisher for future editions of a best-selling textbook," said Nicole Allen, director of open education for the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition. "That's a really strong endorsement of not just the credibility of OER as a model but the benefits it offers to authors, students and higher education as a whole."


"I had been working with Cengage for a long time, but it wasn't always good for both of us. I really was particularly upset at what textbook prices were doing," he said. "I'm just tired of them, and they're tired of me. I don't think either of us is all that upset."


"We are very proud of the success of this important title and the many years of strong partnership we enjoyed with John," Erin Joyner, Cengage's senior vice president for academic product, wrote in a statement to Inside Higher Ed.


Cengage will continue to produce some of the auxiliary digital material it has developed for the book over the years, such as interactive study guides, and will sell them at a lower price point than its usual products -- an arrangement the company has made with OpenStax before.


"We are fully committed to providing affordable, high-quality learning solutions for students," Joyner said. "We are excited to think openly and collaboratively with key partners like OpenStax to ensure that we, and our authors, are able to reach as many students as possible in new and highly accessible ways."


Even if OpenStax is more interested in partnering with traditional publishers than rendering them obsolete, Allen, the open access advocate, said its publication of McMurry's book is an important milestone in what she hopes is OER's march toward prominence in the textbook publishing sphere.


McMurry is a prolific chemistry textbook author with 43 other titles under his belt, but Organic Chemistry is his most widely read. It's been a bestseller in the field for almost as long as it's been in print; McMurry even claims that it's the most popular organic chemistry textbook in the world. He has some ground to stand on: it's the only English-language resource used in India, Australia, Japan and Korea, and it's been translated into a litany of languages including German, Czech, Portuguese and Greek.


OpenStax specializes in developing its own materials in partnership with authors who haven't been as successful in the traditional publishing world, or in licensing books that have only done small print runs. Publishing Organic Chemistry is a break from this model -- and, OpenStax leaders hope, another step toward competing with the major publishers.


"This is the first time a current bestseller is going to be openly licensed and free to hundreds of thousands of students who take organic chemistry in a given year," said OpenStax editor-in-chief David Harris. "It's a seminal moment for OER."


OER has been growing even without big-name authors or best selling textbooks. According to a recent survey by Bay View Analytics, faculty use of OER materials grew significantly over the past few years, especially during the pandemic. In 2015 only 5 percent of faculty said they used OER course materials; in 2022 that number had jumped to 22 percent.


OpenStax, the foremost publisher of OER materials, saw its own user base grow by 183 percent from March 2020 to December of the same year, serving over 1 million more students in the 2020-2021 academic year than during the previous year. Harris estimates that in its first year on OpenStax's platform, over 50,000 students and other users will download the book.


"This is probably one of our most frequently requested titles, both because the subject matter is enormously difficult and because organic chemistry is, if not the most, maybe the second or third most expensive course," he said. "If you think about a community college student struggling and looking at a $300 to $500 course expense, this is going to make a huge difference in their lives."
