Different methods of green synthesis in everyday applications are discussed in the book. The readers can find an intersection of environmental and chemical knowledge for achieving sustainability on earth. In short, it identifies five interacting and overlapping environmental spheres. Environmental practitioners have recognized four of these spheres for a very long time which include atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere. However, the 5th sphere is also critical and known as the anthrosphere, which comprises of every object manufactured by humans.

In short, this book is a ready reference for readers from diverse backgrounds which include environmental engineer, chemists, chemical engineers and policy makers. This essentially book places the concepts of green chemistry within the frameworks of the sustainable modern society that needs to be established for survival of the mankind
