Reviews

This book will be a valuable textbook, but it will be even more useful to businesses, to consultants advising businesses, to environmentalists working with businesses and, finally, to governments and their concerned, but often ill-informed, citizens. I commend it to the wide audience it deserves. -- John Speirs, Managing Director, Norsk Hydro, UK
