Istvan Horvath is Professor at the Eotvos Universitiy in Budapest. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the "Encyclopedia of Catalysis" and has chaired many meetings and symposia in the areas of green chemistry and catalysis.

"...extremely comprehensive encyclopedic textbook...a collection of excellent selective reviews...highly recommended..." (Choice, September 2003) "...heartily recommend [it] as a definitive and essential first reference source for anyone seeking information on any aspect of catalysis." (Chemical Educator, Vol.8, No.4, 2003)
