<p> This is a good book to study if you want to build yourunderstanding of geochemistry on a solid quantitativefooting. (Open University Geological SocietyJournal, 1 May 2013) Overall, this seems to be a useful book for its intendedaudience ... I would recommend the book to those outside ofgeochemistry to expand their knowledge of the topic before enteringthe subject matter at a higher level.
