Description for Frontiers in Geochemistry: Contribution of Geochemistry to the Study of the Earth
Paperback. This is a unique collection of reviews of the significance of geochemistry in the earth sciences, with contributions from a range of internationally distinguished scientists. It deals with both the historical contribution and the current and likely future importance of the subject in dealing with key environmental issues. Num Pages: 280 pages, black & white tables, maps, figures, colour plates. BIC Classification: RBGK. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 247 x 192 x 17. Weight in Grams: 706.
This book is a contribution to the International Year of Planet Earth arising from the 33rd International Geological Congress, held in Oslo, Norway during August 2008. The first section of the book considers aspects of geochemical processes which led to the development of the solid Earth as it is today. The second portion of the book shows how the rapidly-evolving analytical tools and approaches presently used by geochemists may be used to solve emerging environmental and other societal problems.
This unique collection of reviews, with contributions from a range of internationally distinguished scientists, will be invaluable reading for advanced students and others interested in the central role geochemistry in the earth sciences.

"A useful reference text, nonetheless buy it for your library.” (Geological Journal, 1 January 2013) “Nevertheless, overall the book is very readable, and the reference list and the nice addition of “additional reading” lists at the end of the chapters will be very welcome to those that buy it.” (American Mineralogist, 1 November 2012) "A useful acquisition for academic science libraries. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals." (Choice, 1 November 2011) "They provide an up to date insight into the subject and have been written in an accessible style . . . This book provides a view of current challenges in what is ultimately a fascinating volume, suitable for all those interested in earth systems and a must read for geologists and chemists alike." (Chemistry World, 1 September 2011)
