Ottonellos text represents the broadest coverage of geochemistry yet published, and is the only book in the field to discuss interionic static potentials in crystals, thermodynamic properties based on lattice vibrations, and crystalline defects and their effect on stability relations of minerals. Includes nearly two hundred tables, three hundred figures, and an abundance of examples.
