Reviews REVIEW OF THE FIRST EDITION “The importance of becoming a ‘green society’ is now well established within and outside the scientific community. . . . This book is suited to advanced chemistry majors and practitioners; it has numerous detailed illustrations of organic transformations and emphasizes specific green processes and techniques, and ways specific named reactions can be more ecofriendly. The topics range from well-established industrial methods (e.g., sonochemistry and microwave-assisted chemistry) but not yet commonly employed. Overall, this interesting read highlights the rapid progress of green chemistry.” —CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries; review by P. G. Heiden, Michigan Technological University This second edition of the well-received Green Chemistry: Fundamentals and Applications addresses a diverse selection of topics in green chemistry, highlighting the potential and scope of green chemistry for clean and sustainable development. Covering the basics, the book discusses the benefits of environmentally friendly chemical practices and their use in industry. The book has been updated with new research, new advances, and timely references. CONTENTS: About the Authors / Editors: Editors: Suresh C.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
