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.

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.

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 !
