The Natural Environment and the Biogeochemical Cycles (The Handbook of Environmental Chemistry)

An important purpose of The Handbook of Environmental Chemi- stry is to aid the understanding of distribution and chemi- cal reaction processes which occur in the environment. It is designed to serve as an important source forenvironmental scientists and decision-makers in industry, governmental and regulatory bodies. Volume 1F is dedicated to geosphere interactions, environmental inorganic geochemistry and the evolution of matter and energy. Contents: "Geosphere Inter- actions on a Convecting Planet: Mixing and Separation" by W.S. Fyfe; "Environmental Inorganic Chemistry of the Conti- nental Crust" by H. Puchelt; "Evolution ofMatter and Ener- gy" by M. Taube.
