The  field has moved on from a prehistoric interest in metals, chert and  clay, to become a modern science, utilizing sophisticated techniques  to understand the Earth's processes and evolution. By looking deeply  into the Earth's constituents, scientists are able to verify theories  on its formation and, by corollary, on the formation of other planets  in the universe. Because geochemistry involves intensive, detailed  examinations of pieces of the planet, the subject touches upon many  aspects of other scientific explorations, such as predicting earth  tremors and volcanoes, the origin of life, environmental contamination  and waste management, and finding mineral and organic ores. \u003cbr\u003e  The \u003cem\u003eEncyclopedia of Geochemistry\u003c\/em\u003e is a complete and authoritative  reference text to this evolving field. Over 200 international  scientists, each experts in theirspecialties, have written over 340  separate topics on different aspects of geochemistry including  organics, trace elements, isotopes, high and low temperature  geochemistry and ore deposits, to name just a few. The instruments  used to refine geochemical techniques are each described in detail,  and the chemical elements have their own separate entries which  include common mineralogical, petrological and sedimentological  depictions. \u003cbr\u003e  Each topic incorporates cross-referencing to related articles, and  also has its own reference list to lead the reader to the essential  articles within the published literature. The entries are arranged  alphabetically, for easy access, and the subject and citation indices  are comprehensive and extensive.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-07-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412755002\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/1-4020-4496-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 296.0cm x210.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 714.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44698239074444,"sku":"9780412755002","price":494.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412755002.jpg?v=1761050812","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780412755002","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
