"Fleming uses nonquantitative molecular orbital theory to explain many common phenomena in organic chemistry. As such, this is a very powerful tool for students of advanced organic chemistry. Much of what is taken simply on faith or with some hand waving in sophomore organic chemistry can be readily explained with molecular orbital theory, which is usually considered too advanced for students at that level. Though this book could be used as the primary textbook for a course solely on molecular orbitals in organic chemistry, it will more likely be used as a reference source for an advanced organic chemistry course for upper-level undergraduates or graduate students." ( CHOICE , August 2010) "The new 'Fleming' is a must for every lecturer and every student of chemistry--a fantastic book. In this new form the textbook will last for another 30 years and remain as fresh as did its predecessor!" ( Angewandte Chemie International Edition March 2010)
