    • First edition received many excellent reviews
    • The only comprehensive book on the subject, written by leading experts in the field

    Reviews & endorsements

    "...likely to remain a highly relevant introductory text for years to come...lucid and easy style of presentation: there is a great deal of useful, accessible reference data... invaluable to geochemists and will find wide use as an introduction to the subject for a range of non-specialists at both the undergraduate and graduate level." Nature
