Main Texts
1) Faure, G. (1998) Principles and Applications of Geochemistry, 2nd. ed. Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, N.J., 600 p.

And

2a)  Andrews, J.E., Brimblecombe, P., Jickells, T.D., Liss, P.S., and Reid, B.J. (2004) An Introduction to Environmental Chemistry, 2nd. ed.: Blackwell Science, Oxford, U.K., 296 p.

Or

2b) Andrews, J.E., Brimblecombe, P., Jickells, T.D. and Liss, P.S. (1996) An Introduction to Environmental Chemistry: Blackwell Science, Oxford, U.K., 209 p. (1st. ed.)

If you can find a used version of the first edition of Andrews et al., you may use it. There is no advantage of the later edition over the earlier for the purposes of this course. On the web pages for each topic I give the appropriate reading for both editions; you only need to read one or the other edition, not both. Faure (1998) and Andrews et al. (1996) are both on reserve in the library.
