EDITORIAL INFORMATION

This revised and fully updated English-language edition of Giulo Ottonello's Principi di Geochimica provides comprehensive coverage of the entire field of geochemistry, including a basic review of the fundamental chemistry principles of solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter. Principles of Geochemistry represents the broadest coverage of geochemistry yet published and is the only book in the field to discuss interionic static potentials in crystals, thermodynamic properties based on lattice vibrations, and cristalline defects and their effect on stability relations of minerals. With nearly two hundred tables, three hundred figures, and an abundance of examples, Principles of Geochemistry will appeal to both advanced students in earth sciences and researchers in the fields of petrology, minerology, and geochemistry.
