Chemical Fundamentals of Geology and ➕ Environmental Geoscience

✅ Chemical principles are fundamental to the Earth 🌐 sciences, and ➕ geoscience students 👨‍🎓️ increasingly require a firm grasp of basic chemistry ⚗️ to succeed in their studies. The enlarged third 🥉 edition of this highly regarded textbook introduces the student 👨‍🎓️ to such ‘geo-relevant’ chemistry ⚗️, presented 🎁 in the same lucid and ➕ accessible ♿️ style as earlier editions, but the new 🆕 edition has been strengthened in its coverage of environmental geoscience and ➕ incorporates a new 🆕 chapter introducing isotope geochemistry. The book 📚️ comprises three 3️⃣ broad sections. The first 🥇 (Chapters 1️⃣–4️⃣) deals with the basic physical chemistry ⚗️ of geological processes. The second 🥈 (Chapters 5️⃣–8️⃣) introduces the wave 🌊-mechanical 👨‍🔧 view of the atom ⚛️ and ➕ explains the various types of chemical bonding that give 🎁➡️ Earth 🌐 materials their diverse and ➕ distinctive properties. The final chapters (9️⃣–1️⃣1️⃣) survey the geologically relevant elements and ➕ isotopes, and ➕ explain their formation and ➕ their abundances in the cosmos and ➕ the Earth 🌐. The book 📚️ concludes with an extensive glossary of terms; appendices cover 📔 basic maths ➕, explain basic solution chemistry ⚗️, and ➕ list the chemical elements and ➕ the symbols 🔣, units and ➕ constants used in the book 📚️.
