Editorial Reviews
Review
\"This proposed edition and the previous one provide information on a \"hot topic\" area, gasification. As our petroleum sources dwindle, it is essential that we seek other raw material sources like tar sand, coal, ignite, etc. to provide our needs. Gasification is an essential process to meet these needs, therefore, this book is at the forefront of this technology.\"

\"The revised edition has a tremendous potential in attracting readers on such an important technology which serves as an alternative to using crude oil or natural gas. Gasification processes are more important with the escalating costs of other sources of energy with environmental issues and other demands by governmental agencies. Fuel cell technology with Integrated gasification combined cycle is very promising and exciting to engineers, scientists and technologists. I fully endorse the revised edition to further inform engineers, scientists, technologist and consultants in the field of gasification. There are simply very few texts on the market on this essential topic. With their immense experience and background, Higman's and van der Burgt's revised text will further enlighten engineers, scientists and technologists on gasification technology.\"

\"THIS IS THE SINGLE BEST REFERENCE FOR AN UP-TO-DATE, COMPREHENSIVE OVERVIEW OF GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGIES AND THE TECHNOLOGIES ENCOMPASSED IN A COMMERCIAL GASIFICATION PLANT. THIS BOOK IS REQUIRED READING FOR ANYONE WHO HAS A SERIOUS INTEREST IN GASIFICATION AND IGCC.\"

\"This book would have broad appeal in the energy and, perhaps, energy policy sectors. Expect it to be read by Chief Engineer, Design Engineer, Professor and Policy Analyst in that order.

I belive this would be an important book, given the rapid increase in alternative energy technologies.\"
