Green Organizations is one of them." - From the foreword by Paul M. Muchinsky; Joseph M. Bryan Distinguished Professor!

Disciplines brought to bear in this book include human resource management! business management! technology! ethics! atmospheric sciences! and I/O! social! environment! occupational! and humanitarian psychology. Clearly! the volume broadens and enhances the areas considered by the Applied Psychology Series."- Walter C. Borman!
