This book provides a comprehensive overview of reaction processes in the Earth's crust and on its surface, both in the laboratory and in the field. A clear exposition of the underlying equations and calculation techniques is balanced by a large number of fully worked examples. The book uses The Geochemist's Workbench® modeling software, developed by the author and installed at over 1000 universities and research facilities worldwide. The reader can, however, also use the software of his or her choice. The book contains all the information needed for the reader to reproduce calculations in full.
