"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 eco-friendly. 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."—P. G. Heiden, Michigan Technological University, in CHOICE: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries, June 2014
