Broad introduction to the subject, concentrating on the inorganic chemistry of the condensed part of our planet. Written by the author of the authoritative and widely acclaimed Introduction to Geochemical Modelling (Cambridge, 1995). Emphasizes general principles rather than specific observations. Topics include crystal chemistry, mass balance and element transport, and geochemical dynamics. A broad range of applications is introduced, in natural water systems, the deep Earth and planetary processes.
`This book is a welcome addition to the growing number of undergraduate texts on geochemistry. [It] is an effective entry-level text that deserves to be widely read.' The Textbook Guide
