Customer Reviews

Strikes the balance

This is a thorough and rigorous but pleasantly readable account that develops fundamental concepts and introduces the field from a working researcher's-eye-view with substantial emphasis on computational packages where appropriate. Experiment, historical development, and other interesting quirks are included to make the book a good resource for a complete neophyte trying to learn about this field beyond just the problem solving. My only beef is that the book isn't better indexed.

THEMODYNAMICS AS APPLIED TO EARTH SYSTEMS

This book is a comprehensive textbook for geologists, geochemists after the book written by Wood and Fraser. It is easy to understand and mainly can be used for a text book in low temperature geochemistry courses. Dr Anderson did a great job by writing this book.
