Paula Yurkanis Bruice was raised primarily in Massachusetts. After graduating from the Girls' Latin School in Boston, she earned an A.B. from Mount Holyoke College and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Virginia. She then received an NIH postdoctoral fellowship for study in the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Virginia Medical School and held a postdoctoral appointment in the Department of Pharmacology at the Yale School of Medicine.

Paula spent most of her career at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she has received the Associated Students Teacher of the Year Award, the Academic Senate Distinguished Teaching Award, two Mortar Board Professor of the Year Awards, and the UCSB Alumni Association Teaching Award. Her research interests center on the mechanism and catalysis of organic reactions, particularly those of biological significance. Paula has a daughter and a son who are physicians and a son who is a lawyer. Her main hobbies are reading mysteries and biographies and enjoying her pets (three dogs, two cats, and two parrots).

Résumé

Organic Chemistry, Global Edition provides the conceptual foundations, chemical logic and problem-solving skills needed to reason your way to solutions for problems in synthetic organic chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. By building an organic chemistry framework, you can understand and apply learning rather than relying on memorization.

The 9th Edition presents a wealth of problem-solving strategies, over 300 new problems (now totaling over 2,000), updated content and organizational changes to support the unique ways you acquire knowledge, study, practice and master organic chemistry.

This print textbook is available for students to rent for their classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed.
