“In 1902, Marcellin P. Berthelot, often called the founder of modern organic chemistry, was one of France's most celebrated scientists—if not the world's. He was permanent secretary of the French Academy, having succeeded the giant Louis Pasteur, the renowned microbiologist. Unlike Delage, an agnostic, Berthelot was an atheist—and militantly so.”
― Robert K. Wilcox, The Truth About the Shroud of Turin: Solving the Mystery

Handbook of Organic Chemistry is a comprehensive book for class-12 students aspiring for admission into an undergraduate program in Engineering or Medicine.

This book consists of 8 chapters, i.e Haloalkanes & Haloarene, Alcohol, Phenol & Ether, Aldehyde, Ketone & Carboxylic acid, Organic compounds containing Nitrogen, Biomolecules, Polymers, Chemistry in Everyday Life and Organic Name Reaction. The book is an indispensable resource for all students appearing for the JEE, AIEEE, AIIMS or other medical or engineering entrance examinations along with the board exams
I have always felt that I understood a phenomenon only to the extent that I could visualise it. Much of the charm organic chemical research has for me derives from structural formulae. When reading chemical journals, I look for formulae first. I have always had the feeling that organic chemistry is a very peculiar science, that organic chemists are unlike other men, and there are few occupations that give more satisfaction [sic] than masterly experimentation along the old lines of this highly specialised science.
