Review :
"The three major sections of this book focus on methodology, theoretical frameworks, and case studies. Global examples are offered for processes such as wastewater treatment, biofuels, restaurant operations, and even paper production. Individuals such as practitioners, scientists, industrialists, and students can build upon this comprehensive foundation for the study and control of carbon footprints. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through practitioners and professionals." – R. M. Ferguson, Eastern Connecticut State University, for CHOICE, October 2016.
