Rezensionen

"These two volumes can readily aid the individual researcher and should be on the shelves of any competent library of information about chemical technology and its role in the environment." ( Clean Techn Environ Policy , 2011) "...a good addition to libraries that serve the needs of those who are interested in environmental stewardship, sustainability, and sustainable development." ( Journal of Environmental Quality , January February 2008)
