"Biogeochemistry considers how the basic chemical conditions of the Earth-from atmosphere
to soil to seawater-have been and are being affected by the existence of life. Human
activities in particular, from the rapid consumption of resources to the destruction
of the rainforests and the expansion of smog-covered cities, are leading to rapid
changes in the basic chemistry of the Earth. This expansive text pulls together the
numerous fields of study encompassed by biogeochemistry to analyze the increasing
demands of the growing human population on limited resources and the resulting changes
in the planet's chemical makeup. The book helps students extrapolate small-scale examples
to the global level, and also discusses the instrumentation being used by NASA and
its role in studies of global change. With extensive cross-referencing of chapters,
figures and tables, and an interdisciplinary coverage of the topic at hand, this updated
edition provides an excellent framework for courses examining global change and environmental
chemistry, and is also a useful self-study guide."--Publisher's website
