Book Revies: Fuels and chemicals from oilseeds: Technology and policy options (AAAS selected symposium)
Ever get a hankering for a prequel? You know it is all the rage in the movie business. Well you can get that in the book world too. Just read old books. This one is from the 1982 AAAS symposium. During the first oil crisis. A bit of back to the future. All these professors talking about the potential of crops to provide our fuels. Most of the problems they laid out have since been solved (mostly by computers and improvements in crop yield). The descriptions of basic chemistry were good though. Definitely academic as it is basically a collection of professor papers. Not for the feight of heart, but for the biodiesel geek, it doesnt' get any better!
I give it a 1 of 5 on the Tobias scale (only because no-one but me will probably ever like this book).
