"Technology is a moving target, and environmental legislation further complicates the engineer's task of bringing order into the chaos. In a newly released, well-organized text, 'Environmental Technology and Economics,' Claire Soares has managed to bring together many of the related, complex and interacting topics and issues." - Heinz P. Bloch, P.E., retired Exxon ER&E "Soares knows the industrial and governmental players, the technologies, and the basic physics that make up today's complex environmental puzzle. but more importantly, she is able to explain it and make sense out of it for the working engineer or manager!" - Dr. James E.

Hartsel, retired GE Aircraft Engines "Profound and informed work on how environmental issues such as global warming, acid rain and pollution can be mitigated or stabilized from one well qualified to know. The author's objectivity skillfully masks a deep love of nature, and it's that objectivity that makes this work fascinating." - Robert Kobierski, Aeronautical Engineer BAE systems, retired CF qualified test pilot "Claire Soares' work is long overdue. There is no similar work I know of that gives constructive current information on how environmental issues can be using new technologies. Refreshingly free of activist rhetoric and with real solutions that aren't widely public knowledge. Soares has made this work on the state of the environment accessible to everyday people." - Carroll Thatcher, Founder of the Thatcher Planning Group, adjunct professor Michigan State University "Soares' book is an excellent portrayal of the range of choices and tradeoffs, in energy and industrial sustainability.uses many examples from.

international experience." - Manfred Klein, Environment Canada, Energy Branch.
