I'll assume you're a motivated undergrad:
at this point you don't need a textbook, you need 1 on 1 instruction. You need to be paired up with a grad student or post-doc.
Jeremiah Green
if such an opportunity is not available to you, you may well benefit from this undergrad level inorganic lab text

(go to bookzz or libgen or whatever to get it for free)
Schlenk is Schlenk - at lot of techniques carry over.

Aye.

A textbook to get pointers over the summer would be quite cool, all the same. Our undergraduate student doesn't have pairing, except for one poorly paid grad student to 10 undergrads, where they try to instruct us en masse in short 3 hour labs. There is very little room for improvisation or extra learning.

Thanks, will check this one out!
I also got a book called Classics in Total Synthesis, but it's a bit dense and I haven't been able to get stuck into it.

>Classics in Total Synthesis,
Great series, but it's not going to help in terms of manipulation (how to set up/run/work up a reaction).
Jason Evans
Let me drop some more good shit.
These aren't 'practical', they won't help you in lab, just like Classics won't.
But these are highly valuable resources.
"Comprehensive Asymmetric Catalysis" (Jacobsen, Pfaltz, Yamamoto) Vols 1-3

There's an addendum I can't find.
Classics Vol 2

Kurti, Czako "Strategic Applications of Name Reactions in Organic Synthesis"

Email professors for research / independent projects.
Logan Nguyen
Much appreciated, grabbed them all except Classics Vol. 2 because it's the volume I already have. If you had a link for Volume 1 or 3 that would be fantastic, though.

How would you recommend doing this?
Here is what I imagine:
1. Read up on lecturers on their academic page.
2. If their research looks decent, read their past publications and become knowledgeable on them.
3. Make an email with a pitch asking if you can work with them.
Does this ever work?
Jordan Jackson
How do you pitch yourself?
I am going to be a freshman at uni and would like to do research.
What are some skills I should have and acquire over the summer to get involved?
I am looking to get into condensed matter physics
Dylan Harris
Anyone?
Luke Brown
Learn programming? Idk, someone better here probably can give some good advice
Jace James
Just say you're interested in their research. You probably won't understand their papers desu. Just find a field and email a PI. I like to email the newish professors. So if you got a new one on the dept try him since he will actually teach you the ropes.
I was the first one to join mines group and he spent a lot of 1 on 1 time with me teaching me. Got three pubs out of two year with him so it was all good. Assistant professors are going to try hard as fuck to publish, so you might get lucky like me.
Got a dank LoR and top 10 Chem graduate school, even though my GPA was around a 3.5 because I spent so much time in lab. But decided to be a med fag instead.

>Learn public speaking skills.
>Reinforce your mathematical and physics intuition.
And of course, read around your subject to the point of obsession.
Isaac Ramirez
How do I reinforce my math and physics intuition?
And do you recommend reading just scientific journals or any other genres of literature specifically?
Also should I try to learn Python, C++, or R?
Julian Russell
C++ is for n00bz; no relevance anymore now a days
Justin Gutierrez
March's is a good advanced text, if you are looking.
Leo Martin
Research more on the history of concepts, and how they've developed and are also derived from more basic concepts, although in some cases it may be trivial to do so.
And read anything you can get your hands on.

>March's is a good advanced text
I disagree.
It's more of a reference work than a textbook.
In my experience everyone owns it and no one uses it.
YMMV.

Once you get past introductory material, textbooks *should* be reference works. Once you get advanced enough, "basic overviews" cease to be useful. The tradeoff is that, for the intermediate reader, it's not evident which material is frequently used for the practicing scientist and which material has largely fallen out of favor: that's typically where the instructor comes into play.
