This first book to focus on catalytic processes from the viewpoint of green chemistry presents every important aspect:

- Numerous catalytic reductions and oxidations methods
- Solid-acid and solid-base catalysis
- C-C bond formation reactions
- Biocatalysis
- Asymmetric catalysis
- Novel reaction media like e.g. ionic liquids, supercritical CO2
- Renewable raw materials 

Written by Roger A. Sheldon -- without doubt one of the leaders in the field with much experience in academia and industry -- and his co-workers, the result is a unified whole, an indispensable source for every scientist looking to improve catalytic reactions, whether in the college or company lab.
