This book is intended to serve both as a textbook and as a professional reference. It is based on a course that I have taught for over 30 years at Cornell University to advanced undergraduates and graduate students. I was, however, never able to cover the entire contents in a single semester. That is even less possible with this expanded second edition. Rather, it is designed to allow the instructor to pick and choose chapters, and parts of chapters, to focus on particular aspects of geochemistry.

The second edition includes three new chapters that cover the critical zone, the oceans, and economic and environmental geochemistry. Additional material in Chapter 4covers the thermodynamics of aqueous fluids at high temperatures, and there is expanded coverage of stable isotope clumping, mass independent fractionations, and nontraditional isotopes in Chapter 9. There have also been extensive revisions throughout to bring the book up to date with new developments over the last seven years. Not surprisingly, thermodynamics and kinetics have changed little, although I have added additional material to these chapters. There have been significant advances in isotope geochemistry, cosmochemistry, solid earth geochemistry, and organic geochemistry, and these chapters have been significantly revised. The new edition includes examples using MATLAB, THERMOCALC, and PHREEQC. Chapter 1now includes an expanded overview of geochemistry to hopefully spark the interest of students at the beginning of the course. Each chapter now includes a summary of the most important points covered.
