This is the seminal reference on the widely invoked "12 Principles of Green Chemistry." This book is written by cofounders of the EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award,": a Synthetic Chemist and an expert in Environmental Policy. This book is unique in delivering a broad purview of industry practices as it pertains to the environment in a succinct manner. This is enabled by the distillation of the "12 Principles" which is an excellent organizing scheme. A key finding is the interdependency of the Principles and how they drive improved business performance for adopters.
"The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry" is invoked as a mantra for a revolution in the practice and methodologies of synthetic chemistry by research centers and innovators throughout the world. Driving even a few of these principles into practice has become a furtive source of product and process innovations in the field. The text is often cited in technical papers and thus a key reference book.
The narrative is accessible while providing rich examples ripe for follow-up investigation by technical readers.
As a technology strategist I highly recommend "Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice" for its insight regarding the drivers of the future development of the chemical and materials industries.
THIS is the heart of Torah. Each hidden nugget of Truth excavated, brought to the surface, and given to the reader as a jewel. One, of course, familiar, for they knew it somehow already. So that one may smile, beam, and nod at the end of a teaching- saying, "I know! And somehow I knew, already." For each member of humanity is a Torah and the students of Nahum describes all that we embody in this book. Accessible and complex. As is Torah, and so we, and our relationship to All That Is, was, and will be.
A must have resource for people of any religion (or no affiliation at all) interested in knowing what Torah is all about or simply to revel in an entirely different realm of thinking. Different from the everyday, yet completely integral of the everyday. Accessible every minute of every day. Enjoy.
