Carbohydrate Chemistry: Monosaccharides and Their Oligomers was
designed as a classroom textbook for college carbohydrate chemistry
courses. It is primarily intended for use by undergraduate and graduate
students enrolled in chemistry, biochemistry, and pre-med curricula. It is
also intended for students in the colleges of arts and sciences, pharmacy,
agriculture, and medicine, who are engaged in research in the fields of
carbohydrates and natural product chemistry. Its format fills a gap between
large, multivolume reference books designed mainly for research
and elementary, sometimes superficial books.
