This extensively updated new edition of the widely acclaimed
"Treatise on Geochemistry" has increased its coverage beyond the
wide range of geochemical subject areas in the first edition, with
five new volumes which include: the history of the atmosphere,
geochemistry of mineral deposits, archaeology and anthropology,
organic geochemistry and analytical geochemistry. In addition, the
original Volume 1 on "Meteorites, Comets, and Planets" was expanded
into two separate volumes dealing with meteorites and planets,
respectively. These additions increased the number of volumes in
the Treatise from 9 to 15 with the index/appendices volume
remaining as the last volume (Volume 16). Each of the original
volumes was scrutinized by the appropriate volume editors, with
respect to necessary revisions as well as additions and deletions.
As a result, 27% were republished without major changes, 66% were
revised and 126 new chapters were added.
In a many-faceted field such as Geochemistry, explaining and
understanding how one sub-field relates to another is key.
Instructors will find the complete overviews with extensive
cross-referencing useful additions to their course packs and
students will benefit from the contextual organization of the
subject matter.
Six new volumes added and 66% updated from 1st edition. The
Editors of this work have taken every measure to include the many
suggestions received from readers and ensure comprehensiveness of
coverage and added value in this 2nd edition.
The esteemed Board of Volume Editors and Editors-in-Chief worked
cohesively to ensure a uniform and consistent approach to the
content, which is an amazing accomplishment for a 15-volume work
(16 volumes including index volume)
