"Green Chemistry: Fundamentals of Sustainable Chemical Science and Technology" covers the emerging area of green chemistry including pertinent aspects of industrial ecology and environmental chemistry. In so doing it includes coverage of basic principles of chemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry for readers who may not have backgrounds in these subjects. It is organized around the four environmental spheres commonly recognized in the environmental sciences — air, water, earth, and life — plus a fifth sphere, the anthrosphere, consisting of human activities and structures made by humans. A unique feature of the book is a chapter on terrorism and the role of green chemistry in combating terrorist threats. The specific chapters in the book are the following: (1) Chemistry, Green Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry; (2) The Elements: Basic Building Blocks of Green Chemicals; (3) Compounds: Safer Materials for a Safer World; (4) Chemical Reactions: Making Materials Safely Without Damaging The Environment; (5) The Wonderful World of Carbon: Organic Chemistry and Biochemicals; (6) Energy Relationships; (7) Green Water; (8) Air and The Atmosphere; (9) The Biosphere: How The Revolution in Biology Relates to Green Chemistry; (10) The Geosphere, Soil, And Food Production: The Second Green Revolution In Agriculture; (11) The Anthrosphere and Industrial Ecology; (12) Feedstocks: Maximum Utilization of Renewable and Biological Materials; (13) Terroism, Toxicity, and Vulnerability: Chemistry in Defense of Human Welfare.

The first four chapters of the book deal with the most fundamental principles of chemistry along with an introduction to green chemistry. Organic chemistry and biochemicals are introduced in Chapter 5. Later chapters discuss energy, the environmental and green chemistry of water, the atmosphere and atmospheric chemistry,the biosphere and biological processes, the geosphere and soil, industrial ecology, and feedstocks. There is a separate chapter on terrorism and its relationship to green chemistry. The last chapter, "The Ten Commandments of Sustainability," lays out ten principles to be followed if sustainbility is to be achieved. A unique feature of the book is its recognition of the anthrosphere - the things that humans make and do - as a fifth sphere of the environment along with the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
