Marine Chemistry Text

Seller was very prompt with shipping, and product was as described. I recommend this seller, but I recommend that you check with your class/instructor to make sure you need this book for the course, because in my class it was not required, only recommended, and I have not found the book useful.

chemical oceanography

first i think that this one is avery good book, i review in master sciences in unam mexico, is agreat helpfull, but sometimes is confuse, have some text that are not so ease to understand, your book is one of the mas important in the chemical oceanography, and have to be more easy to learn, the first time that i read this book (the first edition) was in the basic sciences, and was very dificult to my undestand this new knowledge, but anyway i guiyou thakns for this book.

A valuable synthesis on marine chemistry: worth buying

This book contains a wealth of state-of-the art reference data, e.g. thermodynamic constants and other physico-chemical properties, which would otherwise be difficult to find together. It is therefore very useful as a source of data for quantitative calculations related to the chemistry of seawater.PLUS: - detailed numbers - ion-pair and Pitzer models applied to seawater (explained with worked examples) - data on carbonate equilibria in seawater - chapter on circulation pattern - chapter on pH measurement of seawaterMINUS: - text style sometimes not concise - numbers frequently given without references - poor illustration quality
