Reviews

This book addresses critical issues related to a biofuel-driven transportation network. Reijnders (biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics, Univ. of Amsterdam, Netherlands) and Huijbregts (environmental science, Radboud Univ. Nijmegen, Netherlands) have done a thorough job explaining the varieties of biofuels (e.g., ethanol, lipid-based, microalgae), including their characteristics and production... This well-researched work, with an extensive bibliography, will be of interest to all levels of readers and should be on every fuel professional's bookshelf... Highly recommended. Choice (August 2009) (Reviewer: J. Tavakoli, Lafayette College)

Biofuels for Road Transport: A Seed to Wheel Perspective is a fascinating introduction to the complexity of interactions between the ecological and economic systems associated with the extraction of biomass from nature. The issues addressed are relevant far beyond biofuels for understanding the relationship we humans have with the rest of living nature.
