This classic textbook is an introduction to the systematics and the
use of stable isotopes in geosciences. It is subdivided into three
parts: i) theoretical and experimental principles, ii)
fractionation processes of light and heavy elements, iii) the
natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. Since the
publication of the previous edition improvements in multi-collector
ICP mass-spectrometry have increased the ability to measure isotope
ratios with very high precision for many elements of the periodic
table. The amount of published data has increased tremendously in
the last years; thus, conclusions based on a limited database are
now better constrained. In this new edition, therefore, 47 elements
with resolvable natural variations in isotope composition are
discussed. This increase of elements, together with advances in the
calculation of equilibrium isotope fractionation using ab initio
methods, has led to an unbelievable rise of publications, making
substantial major revisions and extensions of the last edition
necessary. Many new references have been added, which enable quick
access to recent literature.
