The third edition has seen a major revision of both contents and layout, bringing the book up to current international textbook standards.
The most important novelty is the inclusion of more than 150 problems and questions (20 to 30 for each chapter).
Layout and graphics have been completely redone, with visual aids to guide the students through the text and emphasize important concepts and learning goals.
The contents have been updated to include recent developments such as solid phase oligosaccharide synthesis, novel protecting groups and glycoconjugates. To capture the recent trend to a systems level description of carbohydrate biology, there are two new sub-chapters, one on the structural diversity of carbohydrates, and another one on the simultaneous detection of multiple carbohydrate species by microarrays, also known as the "glycomics" approach.
