An introductory level chemistry textbook with a strong focus on sustainability. The author, Dr. Stanley Manahan, suggests that any discussion regarding green chemistry should also include environmental chemistry and the science of industrial ecology.
Manahan explains the five overlapping and interacting environmental spheres – the biosphere, the hydrosphere, the geosphere, the atmosphere and the anthrosphere (“all things humans have made and the systems they operate throughout the environment”).
