Product Description
This is the first dedicated book to cover the basics of a wide range of stable isotope applications in a manner appropriate for someone entering the field. At the same time, it offers sufficient detail – and numerous references and examples – to direct research for further inquiry. Discusses diverse topics such as hydrology, carbon in plants, meteorites, carbonates, metamorphic rocks, etc. Explores the theory and principles of isotope fractionation. Offers unique, up-to-date discussion of meteorite (extraterrestrial) isotope data. Presents the subject in an interesting historical context, with the classic papers noted. A useful reference for students taking the course and professionals entering the field of Geochemistry. |

Excellent Resource by Mark A. Lemley (USA) 5 Stars
May 13, 2007
This is an excellent resource for the use and analysis of stable isotopes and their applications in isogeochemistry. Not only could this book be an excellent textbook for graduate studies, but a reference that would be utilized time and time again.

A great addition to the field by Simon Kemp (Oregon) 5 Stars
July 28, 2006
This book is sensational. It is well researched, and well written--two things that one does not always find in a science textbook. Dr. Sharp has also spent the time to index the book so that it more user friendly. I predict this book will be around for a long time. It's much more current, and useful than the other books out there on Stable Isotopes.

| Stable Isotope Ecology
by Brian Fry (Author)
Stable isotopes are frequently used as tracers in biological systems, and their ability to track changes and processes over time has made them increasingly important to ecological research. For ecologists, stable isotopes provide a natural way to directly trace details of element cycling in the environment. Stable Isotope Ecology provides a solid introduction to this advanced subject, and can also be used as an instructive review for more experienced researchers and...

| Isotopes: Principles and Applications
by Gunter Faure (Author), Teresa M. Mensing (Author)
The leading textbook and professional resource on isotope geochemistry--completely updated and expanded Since its initial publication as Principles of Isotope Geology in 1977, this has been the most widely used comprehensive textbook in upper-level isotope geochemistry courses. Now in its Third Edition, Isotopes: Principles and Applications has been thoroughly updated, rewritten, reorganized, and expanded to include more than twice the content of its predecessor. Covering radiogenic,...

| Stable Isotope Geochemistry
by Jochen Hoefs (Author)
Stable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopes in the geosciences. It is subdivided into three parts: theoretical and experimental principles; fractionation processes of light and heavy elements; the natural variations of geologically important reservoirs. Since the application of stable isotopes to earth sciences has grown in the last few years, a new edition appears necessary. Recent progress in analysing the rare isotopes of certain elements for instance...

| Principles of Stable Isotope Distribution
by Robert E. Criss (Author)
This book presents a quantitative treatment of the theory and natural variations of light stable isotopes. It discusses isotope distribution in the context of fractionation processes, thermodynamics, mass conservation, exchange kinetics, and diffusion theory, and includes more than 100 original equations. The theoretical principles are illustrated with natural examples that emphasize oxygen and hydrogen isotope variations in natural waters, terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks, and...

| Stable Isotopes in Ecology and Environmental Science (Ecological Methods and Concepts)
by Robert Michener (Editor), Kate Lajtha (Editor)
This book highlights new and emerging uses of stable isotope analysis in a variety of ecological disciplines. While the use of natural abundance isotopes in ecological research is now relatively standard, new techniques and ways of interpreting patterns are developing rapidly. The second edition of this book provides a thorough, up-to-date examination of these methods of research.
As part of the Ecological Methods and Concepts series which provides the latest information on...
