Customer Reviews

Great book. Highly recommended

This is a great book. I had never taken geochemistry until I used this book for a class on radiogenic isotopes and geochronology. Even though I was a "geochem novice," I found the text easy to read and there were enough examples to help me understand each topic fully. The book is also a very complete and easy to use reference. I highly recommend this book for anyone as both a text book and as a reference.

Information that works

A great book for anyone needing information on isotopes. Well written, with enough stories of isotopes in everyday life to make the book interesting. As a textbook, it is helpful. As a reference book, it is easy to find what you are looking for. I used this book as a student in two isotope classes, and I am going to hold onto it for the rest of my career.
