Publisher Synopsis
"... timely book, covering the challenges and excitement of green chemistry, attracting even the practicing green chemist to read on. It is a compelling introductory text, and is destined to be an important starting point for researchers." * Australian Journal of Chemistry, 2003, 56, p 725 * "It is informative and well structured with a wide variety of topics, ranging from current environmental legislation to an excellent series of industrial case studies that illustrate how green chemistry can influence existing processes ... this book will appeal to many members of the wider chemistry community ... a well-balanced introduction to sustainable methods." * Chemistry & Industry, 4 August 2003, p 24 * "... presents a balanced perspective, which succeeds in promoting green concepts, without "overselling" them..." * Organic Process Research & Development, Vol 8, No 2, 2004, p 299 * " ... This book should appeal to senior-level undergraduates on organic chemistry or industrial chemistry courses. The next may also be of interest to chemical engineers. Lecturers and teachers in chemistry would also do well to read this book since it presents the future of materials manufacturing. " * Education in Chemistry, May 2004 * Read more...
