Although it may looks like a boring book initially, it contains a lot of useful information on biogeochemistry. This book can serve for two purposes depending on the level of reader's expertise: for getting general idea or knowledge on certain aspect of biogeochemistry, or for refreshing old knowledge on certain aspect. One thing readers should keep in their mind is that this book is dense due to the fact that it's trying to cover huge area within a few pages. Sometimes I thought that I needed further explanation on certain idea or certain technique mentioned in the book to understand fully. That would be only problem for someone who is new in certain field. However, this book can serve for starting discussion on certain topic or studying further. Another thought I had was that debates, different opinions on certain topic barely included in the book since it' main purpose was to depict general picture of our understanding on certain field, which was done excellently. I might be wrong because I just read several chapters from this book, not entire book.

Overall, I highly recommend this book. It's useful starting point to explore more, useful reference in the middle of research, and useful finishing point.
