Media reviews

Geochemistry is a vast subject, and Giulio Ottonellos book covers a very large spectrum of the subject in an authoritative way. This is perhaps because of his research involvements in a variety of problems in geochemistry that include solid state geochemistry, trace element geochemistry, development of electrolyte sensors, fluid-rock interaction, and topics at the interface between thermodynamics and crystal chemistry. . . . The book should appeal to both students and active researchers, especially when they need a good exposure to fields outside of their own specialty.
