| Book Description | An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry explores the fate of organic matter of all types, biogenic and man-made, in the Earth System. * investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments * scope widened to provide a broad and up-to-date background - structured to accommodate readers with varied scientific backgrounds * essential terminology is defined fully and boxes are used to explain concepts introduced from other disciplines * further study aided by the incorporation of carefully selected literature references * It investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments. |
| Editorial Review | "The book is an excellently written , up-to-date text, introducing the fundamental concepts in organic geochemistry without overloading the reader with details. No doubt once again this volume will become widely used by students and other scientists in many fields." European Journal of Soil Science "This is arguably the only undergraduate to postgraduate level textbook on organic geochemistry that is readily affordable for students ... but any institution involved in teaching undergraduate or postgraduate organic, petroleum or general geochemistry should consider purchasing multiple copies for their libraries." Geological Magazine |
