    "Radical Reactions of Carbohydrates" is a series of books that describe the involvement of radicals and radical reactions in carbohydrate chemistry. The first book in this series, "Volume I: Structure and Reactivity of Carbohydrate Radicals", is concerned with the basic structure of carbohydrate radicals and the reactivity that can be expected from these intermediates. "Volume II: Radical Reactions in Carbohydrate Synthesis" contains discussion and analysis of the radical reactions that have been used in carbohydrate synthesis.
