Nazim Z. Muradov and T. Nejat Veziro lu “The approach and topics chosen are excellent. … very thorough coverage of the field … Each of the carbonneutral fuels and energy subjects discussed in the chapters is written by an expert in the field. … not only is the entire field comprehensively covered by the book, but each of the fuels and energy subjects is presented in depth. This makes the volume that much more valuable, not only for teaching purposes but also for use by research and policy workers.” —Meyer Steinberg, Consultant (former senior researcher at Brookhaven National Laboratory), Melville, New York, USA
