"... ideally suited to both an undergraduate and graduate audience, whether they are traditional chemists or chemical engineers ..." RSC Green Chemistry Web Site, September 2001 "... a good introduction for people new to industry and the subject in general ..." Organic Process Research & Development, 2002, 6, p 201 "... should prove valuable reading for process development chemists and engineers, particularly those in the specialities and pharmaceuticals sectors, and will also be an important source of teaching material for the growing number of clean technology chemistry courses." International Journal of Environment and Pollution, Vol 17, No 4, 2002, p 406-407 "...does a fine job of intoducing the topic ... a very welcome addition to the literature on clean technology ..." Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, Vol 79, Iss 2, February 2004, p 207-208
