Reviews

...a good representation of the current state of green chemistry... (CHOICE, January 2008) These are most excellent papers dealing with a very real and growing problem. (Journal of Hazardous Material, January 15, 2008) ...a good starting resource for readers seeking to employ sustainable chemistry. (Journal of the American Chemical Society, January 9, 2008) For advanced students...this book will catch the eye, as it will do as well for chemists in research and development... (Organic Chemistry Portal, November 2007) Das Buch ist fur fortgeschrittene Studenten interessant, die sich fur Green Chemistry interessieren, und eine UEbersicht uber aktuelle Forschungsfelder erhalten wollen, als auch fur Chemiker in Forschung und Entwicklung, um moegliche Kooperationspartner zu finden. http://www.organische-chemie.ch/Buch/0471754005.htm Nov. 07
