Geochemistry
of Hydrothermal Ore Deposits
by Hubert Lloyd Barnes, (Editor), 3rd Edition, Hardcover, List:
$115.00
Another classic,
just reissued in its 3rd edition. Beyond ore deposits, this book
contains information germane to the chemistry of ground water, complexation
and mass transport in a wide variety of subsurface environments.
Introduction
to Geochemistry
by Konrad B. Krauskopf, Dennis K. Bird, 3rd Edition, Hardcover,
List: $59.40
For years, the
standard introduction to geochemistry. Always good to have in your
library.
Eh-Ph
Diagrams for Geochemistry
by Douglas G. Brookins, Hardcover, List: $89.50
Another indispensable
reference source.
Aqueous
Environmental Geochemistry
by Donald Langmuir, Hardcover, 576 pages, List: $93.75
Provides a thorough
presentation of controls on the chemical quality of surface and
subsurface waters, both pristine and polluted. Emphasis is placed
on inorganic processes and on the chemistry of soil and ground water.
Unlike most authors, whose civil/sanitary-engineering backgrounds
promote a more aquatic chemistry and surface water approach, Langmuir's
geology/geochemistry experience focuses coverage on the chemical
interactions between water and geological materials.The text provides
valuable training in using the geochemical computer code MINTEQA2
as an integral problem-solving tool. A classic text on the subject.
No professional ground-water professional should be without a copy.
Aquatic
Chemistry: Chemical Equilibria and Rates in Natural Waters
by Werner Stumm, James J. Morgan 3rd Edition Paperback, List: $59.95
Also a classic
text on the subject. No professional ground-water professional should
be without a copy.
Chemistry
of the Solid-Water Interface: Processes at the Mineral-Water and
Particle-Water Interface in Natural Systems
by Werner Stumm, Paperback, 428 pages, List: $52.95. A follow-up
to the original text. Good for reference.
Physical
and Chemical Hydrogeology
by Patrick A. Domenico, Franklin Schwartz, Hardcover, 824 pages,
List: $89.00
Another outstanding
book, its geochemical coverage is not quite as extensive as "The
Geochemistry of Natural Waters," but it runs a strong second. In
addition, it offers full coverage of physical hydrodynamics (including
heat flow) and modeling systems. Although a college textbook, it
is handy to have in your library.
Principles
of Groundwater Engineering
by William C. Walton, Hardcover, List: $84.95
An exhaustive
treatment of aquifer hydrology. Confined and water-table aquifers
are discussed in detail. Withdrawal, injection and boundary conditions
are all examined. There is a very detailed discussion of modeling
techniques, application and selection. The best parts of this book
(in my opinion) are the appendices. There are over 140 pages of
information on ground water, aquifer hydrodynamics, geologic characteristics
of different aquifers, contaminant characteristics and modeling.
This book is worth having for the appendices alone.
