Reviews
This book provides a very accessible introduction and high-level overview of the various points of intersection between microalgae and the environment. These points include both remediation and sustainability considerations. The book could be useful initial background material for someone new to microalgae and the related uses and technologies. It can also provide a broadening experience for those who work more narrowly on one specific point of intersection between algae and the environment. (James D. Sheehan, Jimeng Jiang and Phillip E. Savage, Johnson Matthey Technology Review, Vol. 61 (2), 2017)
