Reviews

Both author and publisher are to be congratulated on a job well done....and the level seems just right for the target audience.This is an excellent text, well written and attractively produced.
*Angewandte Chemie, International Edition, 2007, 46, 657-658 (Roderick Cannon)*

As a result of its detailed, yet simple to read, format I would highly recommend the text as an excellent reference for those practising in aqueous inorganic chemistry or for those interested in geology/hydrology.
*Physical Sciences Educational Reviews, Vol.6, Issue 1, June 2005 (Claire Lenehan)*

"...the text offers very good value; it is written both authoritatively and accurately. Its treatments of the thermodynamic aspects of inorganic aqueous chemistry is very good indeed ... packed with data and information that will act as a useful reference source throughout a student's course and beyond."
