Nicht nur in den westlichen Industrieländern ist Umweltschutz heute ein selbstverständlicher Bestandteil der gesellschaftlichen Existenz. Über die Entwicklung der Grünen Chemie und Technik im Laufe des zurückliegenden Jahrzehnts informiert das neue 9-bändige "Handbook of Green Chemistry" (herausgegeben von Paul Anastas, dem Vater der Grünen Chemie), zu dem die drei vorliegenden Bände über Grüne Katalyse gehören. Ausführlich wie nie zuvor behandeln sie alle Aspekte der umweltverträglichen und nachhaltigen homogenen, heterogenen und Biokatalyse.

About the author
Paul T. Anastas joined Yale University as Professor and iserves as the Director of the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale. From 2004-2006, Paul Anastas has been the Director of the Green Chemistry Institute in Washington, D.C. Until June of 2004 he served as Assistant Director for Environment at e White House Office of Science and Technology Policy where his responsibilities included a wide range of environmental science issues including furthering international public-private cooperation in areas of Science for Sustainability such as Green Chemistry. In 1991, he established the industry-government-university partnership Green Chemistry Program, which was expanded to include basic research, and the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Awards. He has published and edited several books in the field of Green Chemistry and developed the 12 principles of Green Chemistry.

Report
"This three-volume set of books covers a wide range of topics within homogeneous, heterogeneous and biocatalysis, with contributions from well-known names in their respective fields. Overall, the books provide an overview of processes and reactions that can be considered 'green , with indications of where current directions in research may be going. The role of transition metals including the pgms within this area seems assured." ( Platinum Metals Review, November 2010)
