Summary
This comprehensive encyclopedia of green chemistry covers a wide range of topics in 146 review chapters. It is meant to be a large reference work for academic, industrial, and government scientists. Each chapter is authored by an expert in the specific topic, who brings together current research while highlighting challenges and discoveries that are most important. Volume 1 covers fundamentals and emerging technologies, volume 2 discusses tools of green synthesis, volume 3 turns attention to the green production of chemicals and the final volume discusses valorization and biorefining of biomass.

As a comprehensive tool, the Encyclopedia of Green Chemistry is of great interest for chemistry educators looking for current examples of green innovations in a variety of areas. Production of lesson plans, case studies, and other pedagogical tools will certainly result from employing this encompassing resource.
