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."
