Jerry Mohrig spent his entire professional career as a college teacher. He retired in 2003 from Carleton College as Stark Professor in the Natural Sciences and Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus. Actively involved in science education reform for many years, Jerry was a founding member of the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) and of Project Kaleidoscope.Gretchen Hofmeister earned her Ph.D. in synthetic chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley in 1990, after receiving a B.A. in chemistry from Carleton College. She was an NIH Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Professor Richard R. Schrock at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before becoming a member of the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus College, earning tenure in 2002.
Christina Hammond, retired, was Lecturer and Coordinator of Laboratory Instruction in the Chemistry Department at Vassar College from 1981 to 2006. Hammond received a B.S. from the State University of New York at Albany, and came to Vassar in 1961 as a master’s degree student in chemistry and a graduate teaching assistant.
This title is for organic students of all levels looking to improve and understand their knowledge of lab work. With new authors David Alberg and Gretchen Hofmeister on board for this fourth edition, both bring copious amounts of experience in organic chemistry. They have been able to revive the writing in the book, while also adding new examples and pitfalls for students to avoid.

- Periodic Table
- Spectra for Modern Projects and Experiments in Organic Chemistry
- Tables of Unknowns and Derivatives
- New Glassware Icons - The icons distinguish the three different types of glassware and make it easier for students to locate the information they need
- New Part 6 Designing and Carrying Out Organic Experiments - Already a strength of the book, this part now includes expanded coverage of guided inquiry and more open-ended lab work
- Increased Coverage of Acid-Base Chemistry in Part 3 - This edition gives students a stronger introduction to the acid-base chemistry that is important for understanding chemical reactions.
