Geochemical Kinetics

"This is the most comprehensive, authoritative account of geochemical kinetics published to date. Writing in a remarkably accessible style, considering the complexity of the subject, Zhang, one of the leading experts in the field, covers every conceivable area of geochemical kinetics."—B. Ransom, Choice

"[T]his is a very good textbook, which I would recommend to anyone wanting to be informed about the kinetic aspects of geochemistry. The book is well organized and well written—Professor Zhang's English style makes it easy to read. Interesting sets of carefully thought-out problems at the end of each chapter contribute to making this an excellent introductory text, one that may be used in teaching. The book is remarkably free of errors, which is impressive given the extensive mathematical formulation throughout. The publisher is also to be commended for the easy-to-read font size and the clarity and simplicity of the figures. This book has a nice 'feel' about it."—Terry M. Seward, Elements

"There are not many books available that present multiple solutions for each problem, as Zhang elegantly does here. I discovered new points, examples, and mathematical treatments not found in the low-temperature geochemistry literature or related textbooks. It was a real pleasure to read this book."—Martial Taillefert, Georgia Institute of Technology

"The contents of Geochemical Kinetics are well-balanced among various topics important to a broad spectrum of geochemists. Theoreticians, experimentalists, and field researchers will all find this book useful."—James Kubicki, Pennsylvania State University
