Thermodynamics deals with energy levels and energy transfers between
states of matter, and is therefore fundamental to all branches of
science. This new edition provides an accessible introduction to the
subject, specifically tailored to the interests of Earth and
environmental science students. Beginning at an elementary level, the
first four chapters explain all necessary concepts via a simple
graphical approach. Throughout the rest of the book, the author
emphasizes the importance of field observations and demonstrates that,
despite being derived from idealized circumstances, thermodynamics is
crucial to understanding ore formation, acid mine drainage, and other
real-world geochemical and geophysical problems. Exercises now follow
each chapter, with answers provided at the end of the book. An
associated website includes extra chapters and password-protected
answers to additional problems. This textbook is ideal for
undergraduate and graduate students studying geochemistry and
environmental science.
