(More customer reviews)By the time I purchased this book I was absolutely new to the field of Environmental geochemistry and I was looking for book that would include all essential knowledge needed for succes in the course. The book comprises all crucial topics: some thermodynamic basics, aqueous chemistry, redox chemistry, isotopes. I especially appreciate solved problems ... as a guideline for study questions at the end of the chapter. However, to use and comprehend this book, you should have some backgroud of physical chemistry and thermodynamics, 'cause the introductory chapter on thermodynamics requires this kind of konwledge. The book is written in scientific style with pletny of pictures and diagrams - that are many times esseantial in order to understand the text. One more information - in thermodymaic calculations, author uses calories - just a reminder in case you are used to joules. Even though this is not the book for absolute beginners, my overall impression is very good and I higly recommend it.

Langmuir provides a thorough presentation of natural chemical concentrations, systems and processes to help readers (1) understand controls on the chemical quality of surface and subsurface waters, and (2) distinguish between the natural and the anthropogenic. Unlike most authors, whose civil/sanitary engineering backgrounds promote a more aquatic chemistry perspective, LangmuirÕs geology/geochemistry experience focuses coverage on the chemical interactions between water and geological materials. The book provides valuable training in using in the geochemical computer code MINTEQA2 as an integral problem-solving tool.
