Overview
Geochemical Thermodynamics covers the relationships between heat and other forms of energy as they apply to the study of geochemistry. Since the publication of the first edition of this text, students have no longer had to glean their knowledge of thermodynamics from chemistry texts where geochemical applications were rarely covered. In this new updated edition particular attention is focussed on the applied sections, with added coverage of the applications relating to environmental geochemistrySynopsis

A textbook that blends recent investigations from geochemical research with the basic concepts and principle relationships of thermodynamics that are useful in geochemistry, without long theoretical digressions or involved mathematical derivations. This revised and updated edition (1st ed., 1986) adds a new chapter on geochemical modeling and a new appendix that contains highly reliable and consistent thermodynamic data of geochemical interest. It also reflects an increased emphasis on environmentally relevant examples and applications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
