'The editors of this book have gathered a collection of expert practitioners in the area of microwave enhanced/assisted organic synthesis, each of whom have produced a series of chapters covering a variety of aspects of this burgeoning field''overall the balance of the book was good and I would recommend it to graduate level chemists, experimentalists in synthetic science and chemistry libraries.'Stephen Caddick, Chemistry World "Overall, this is a well-written, concise book on this fledgling but fast growing field of microwave-assisted organic synthesis. The book does a good job of showcasing the enormous potential (waiting to be harnessed) of microwave-assisted synthesis ... The book is replete with many good examples of the reactions to which microwave heating has been successfully applied, and the chapters are well referenced ... It will be an important addition to the few books on this relatively new aspect of modern organic synthesis. Students of organic chemistry should find it useful as well."Journal of Medicinal Chemistry
