Trade Review
A bright, attractive book... One might argue that all the information is 'out there' on the internet and that recycling is a continuously developing industry, but it's hard to beat a clear and colourful book and the principles that this one espouses are unlikely to change significantly in the near future * English 4 - 11 *
