Reviews
"… an up-to-date, valuable source of information on the core aspects in the field of coal. … provides a vision of the innovations and technologies that are shaping the future of coal. … of great interest and highly rewarding for researchers working in coal science, engineering, and technology, and for professionals in the coal industry. It will also serve as a stimulus to those starting in the field of coal."
—María A. Diez, Instituto Nacional del Carbón-Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (INCAR-CSIC), Oviedo, Spain"The chapter on coal liquefaction by Arno De Klerk is a superb job. I can certainly envision referring to, and citing it, in my own work. ... Undoubtedly the coverage of the book, in terms of the chapter topics, is very comprehensive."
—Harold Schobert, Schobert International, LLC, Jordan, Minnesota, USA"... very interesting writing style, the content is compact, and it gives a very competent scientific intention and outlook for coal science and coal technology in the future."
—Norbert J. Volkmann, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany
