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.

From the Publisher
Provides a thorough presentation of controls on the chemical quality of surface and subsurface waters, both pristine and polluted. Emphasis is placed on inorganic processes and on the chemistry of soil and groundwaters. Unlike most authors, whose civil/sanitary engineering backgrounds promote a more aquatic chemistry and surface water approach Langmuir's geology/geochemistry experience focuses coverage on the chemical interactions between water and geological materials. The text provides valuable training in using the geochemical computer code MINTEQA2 as integral problem-solving tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth having ...,
By
This review is from: Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry (Paperback)
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.

Excellent Resource, buy a different edition,
This review is from: Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry (Paperback)
This book is an excellent resource for anyone involved in environmental geochemistry, either academically or professionally. However, if you can find a different edition, DON'T buy this one. There appear to have been printing issues, and many pages are very hard to read. It resembles a poor-quality photocopy in places. The information is excellent, but given the price, I expect publishing companies to take more care.

Good material with landmines,

This review is from: Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry (Paperback)
I used this book for a graduate course in Envvironmental Engineering. I found the material comprehensive and well presented. However, some of the example problems have errors that require considerable time to shake out when learning the material. This book really needs an errata page and solicitation of errors.
