Editorial Reviews from Amazon.com


"We've all read the dire warnings about global warming. Now, here's a great book about the opportunities for ingenuity and entrepreneurship. Brian Dumaine describes the visionaries who are at the forefront of green technology and how they are not only going to save the planet but create an economic boom in the process. His case studies include inspiring entrepreneurs, mavericks, and imaginative academics all allied in a noble cause."
