HANDBOOK OF GREEN CHEMISTRY 3 VOL. SET: GREEN PROCESSES (HB 2012)

In a world where the emphasis has shifted to being as Green and environmentally friendly as possible, leads to the requirement of this important 3-book set of the Handbook of Green Chemistry edited by the father and pioneer of Green Chemistry, Professor Paul Anastas.
This series summarises the significant body of work that has accumulated over the past decade that details the breakthroughs, innovation and creativity within Green Chemistry and Engineering.
 
Set III comprises of 3 books, with each volume focussing on a different area and edited by leading scientists in the field:
Green Synthesis - Editor: C.-J. Li
Green Nanoscience - Editors: A. Perosa and M. Selva
Designing Safer Chemicals - Editors: P.T. Anastas, R. Boethling, A. Voutchkova
 
An essential collection for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the world of green chemistry and for a variety of chemists, environmental agencies and chemical engineers.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (Academy of Science) and is an Associate Editor for "Green Chemistry" of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK).
 
Editors of Volume 8 - Green Nanoscience
 
Prof. A. Perosa and Prof. M. Selva
 
Alvise Perosa is Assistant Professor of Organic Chemistry at the Università Ca' Foscari in Venice, Italy.
 
Under the supervision of Prof. Pinna, Mauricio Selva received his PhD in Industrial Chemistry in 1989 with cum laude. After two research scholarships he started his academic career as assistant professor of organic chemistry at the Università Ca´Foscari, Venezia, Italy where he is currently Associate Professor.
 

Editors of Volume 9 - Designing Safer Chemicals
 
Prof. Paul T. Anastas, Dr. Bob Boethling and Prof. A. Voutchkova
 
Paul T. Anastas is the Teresa and H. John Heinz III Professor in the Practice of Chemistry for the Environment. He has appointments in the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, Department of Chemistry, and Department of Chemical Engineering. In addition, Prof. Anastas serves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. Anastas took public service leave from Yale to serve as the Assistant Administrator for the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Agency Science Advisor from 2009-2012. From 2004 -2006, Paul Anastas served as Director of the ACS Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. He was previously the Assistant Director for the Environment in the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where he worked from 1999-2004. Trained as a synthetic organic chemist, Dr. Anastas received his Ph.D. from Brandeis University and worked as an industrial consultant. He is credited with establishing the field of green chemistry during his time working for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as the Chief of the Industrial Chemistry Branch and as the Director of the U.S. Green Chemistry Program. Beside the Handbook of Green Chemistry, Dr. Anastas has published widely on topics of science through sustainability including eleven books, such as Benign by Design, Designing Safer Polymers, Green Engineering, and his seminal work with co-author John Warner, Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice.
 
Dr. Robert (Bob) Boethling is scientist at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT), Exposure Assessment Branch. He earned his Ph.D. at UCLA in 1976 and joined EPA in 1980 after a postdoctoral fellowship under Prof. Martin Alexander at Cornell University. Dr. Boethling's expertise is in biodegradation, and design and development of environmental fate data resources and estimation methods.
 
Adelina Voutchkova is Assistant Professor at the George Washington University, Washington D.C.
