This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents every important aspect:

* Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods
* Solid-acid and solid-base catalysis
* C-C bond formation reactions
* Biocatalysis
* Asymmetric catalysis
* Novel reaction media like e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical CO2
* Renewable raw materials

Written by Roger A. Sheldon—without doubt one of the leaders in the field with much experience in academia and industry—and his co-workers, the result is a unified whole, an indispensable source for every scientist looking to improve catalytic reactions, whether in the college or company lab.
