Reviews of the First Edition:
"...one of the best books on natural products that has been written. It should find a place on the bookshelves of everyone with an interest in natural products, since it not only offers a quick overview of the many different facets of natural products chemistry, but also, thanks to its comprehensive index, serves as an excellent reference source." Angewandte Chemie.
"Paul Dewick's enthusiasm for his subject is much in evidence, and this book will be both welcomed and enjoyed by all those who want to know the basic facts about medicinal natural products." Phytochemistry.
"It is refreshing to read a current natural products textbook that embraces a biosynthetic approach to instruction, which allows for the application of basic chemical principles. This text is invaluable for both undergraduate and graduate students with interests in natural products chemistry" Journal of Natural Products.
"...this book is excellent, with high quality of both text and illustrations throughout...I would recommend purchase for all those who are interested in the biosynthetic pathways of medicinal natural products." Trends in Plant Science.
