The third edition of Green Chemistry: An Introductory Text discusses many topics in the field, including the provision of environmentally benign products from sustainable resources, legislation, renewable resources, catalysis in green chemistry, and some industrial case studies. This book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate courses covering green chemistry, and is written by Mike Lancaster, who set up the Royal Society of Chemistry Green Chemistry Network and has more than 20 years’ experience in the chemical industry.

Also of interest, the Royal Society of Chemistry Green Chemistry Journal is honouring the 25^th anniversary of the term “green chemistry” by publishing an editorial each month in the year 2016 focusing on one of the twelve principles of green chemistry.

The publication of Near-infrared Nanomaterials edited by Fan Zhang sees the Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Series reach the great achievement of publishing its fortieth book.

With contributions from leading experts in nanoscale research, the series provides a comprehensive resource of books covering key topics such as the characterisation, performance and properties of nanostructured materials and technologies and their applications. Since the publication of the first book in 2005 on Nanotubes and Nanowires by C N Ram Rao and A Govindaraj, the series has covered subjects such as polymer-based nanostructures, nanodiamond, fullerenes and nanoarcitectonics as well as the applications of nanomaterials in art conservation, food, health and energy.

Series Editor-in-chief, Paul O’Brien CBE FRS, says ‘this series is remarkably popular with both readers and contributors with several volumes updated and published as new editions. Much of the success has been ‘bottom up’ and a result of the hard work by the authors and editors of individual volumes, they all deserve our thanks. If you have an idea for a book in the series please do contact us – we want to have our 50th volume as soon as possible!’

• Hierarchical Nanostructures for Energy Devices edited by Seung H Ko and Costas P Grigoropoulos
• Nanoceramics in Clinical Use (2nd Edition) by María Vallet-Regi and Daniel Arcos Navarrete
