Description and Table of Contents
Description
The book contains the proceedings of a Nobel symposium held in Stockholm. This gathered leading experts on different aspects of carbon dioxide chemistry, covering topics as diverse as photosynthetic carbon fixation and electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide. Given the present public concern about the "greenhouse" effect, this collection of papers by leading authorities is timely.
