WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwired - March 19, 2015) - Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced the publication of Food, Energy, and Water: The Chemistry Connection, edited by Dr. Satinder Ahuja.

Elsevier is displaying this book and three other just-published chemistry titles at booth #211 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver, March 22-24, 2015.

It includes the latest research on critical topics such as fracking, water use conflicts, and sustainability in food production cycles. The book offers today's scientists the background information necessary to fully understand the inextricable link between food, energy and water. It also discusses how this conceptual framework should form the basis for all contemporary research and development in chemistry in particular, and the sciences in general.
