What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This is a good book to study if you want to build your understanding of geochemistry on a solid quantitative footing.” (Open University Geological Society Journal, 1 May 2013)
“Overall, this seems to be a useful book for its intended audience … I would recommend the book to those outside of geochemistry to expand their knowledge of the topic before entering the subject matter at a higher level.” (Chromatographia, 28 March 2013)“Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.” (Choice, 1 January 2013)
“Overall this is an impressively thorough and up-to-date text that is aimed at the ‘geological’ geochemist and I would certainly recommend it to such an audience.” (Geological Magazine, 2012)
