This wide-ranging text in isotope geology/geoscience allows students to integrate material taught in various courses into a unified picture of the earth sciences. Gives a rational exposition of the principles used in the interpretation of isotopic data and shows how such interpretations apply to the solution of geological problems. Current with references up to 1985, chapters in this edition have been revised, and new chapters on Sm-Nd, Lu-Hf, Re-Os, and K-Ca decay schemes and cosmogenic radionuclides have been added. Data summaries and references have been expanded. Also includes problems for student study and abundant line drawings with explanatory captions.

Information that works,
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Isotope Geology, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
A great book for anyone needing information on isotopes. Well written, with enough stories of isotopes in everyday life to make the book interesting. As a textbook, it is helpful. As a reference book, it is easy to find what you are looking for. I used this book as a student in two isotope classes, and I am going to hold onto it for the rest of my career.

Great book. Highly recommended,
By Bob Dylan "Bob" (New Haven, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Principles of Isotope Geology, 2nd Edition (Hardcover)
This is a great book. I had never taken geochemistry until I used this book for a class on radiogenic isotopes and geochronology. Even though I was a "geochem novice," I found the text easy to read and there were enough examples to help me understand each topic fully.
The book is also a very complete and easy to use reference. I highly recommend this book for anyone as both a text book and as a reference.

This review is from: Principles of Isotope Geology (Smith & Wyllie intermediate geology series) (Hardcover)
The way G.Faure wrote this book, is amazing... Isotope geology is not a simple matter, but he did the work well done. For the very begining, he explains the origin of a bunch of natural isotopes in a clear exposition. The diagram speak for thenselves...
Almost all the importante isotopes and methods available in nature are explained. This book is a milestone !
