Compendium of Geochemistry
"Li includes a more diverse range of topics than does any remotely comparable work, and stresses the importance of cosmological, geological, and biological processes in understanding Earth's environment ... A timely addition to the geochemical literature and the best available compilation of data in recent decades."--Choice
An ever-increasing concern over environmental degradation, together with recent technological advances, has spawned an explosion of chemical data for a wide variety of matter found on earth and in the solar system. Les mer
It emphasizes the use of original raw data as much as possible, and applies the statistical technique of factor analysis to elucidate any underlying interrelationships among chemical elements and given sample sets. Whenever applicable, simple chemical thermodynamic models are introduced to explain the observed partitioning of elements among different phases.
