Eicher and Hauptman evidently aim to reach a wide audience with this book, which is “designed for the advanced student and research worker, and also for the industrial chemist looking for a survey of well‐tried fundamental concepts, as well as for information on modern developments in heterocyclic chemistry”. The authors have clearly taken on a difficult task in trying to summarize an often irrational and anecdotal subject area for such a diverse audience. The Chemistry of Heterocycles commences with a useful introduction to the nomenclature of heterocyclic chemistry, beginning with the familiar Hantzsch–Widman system for naming mono‐ and
