Reviews of the Book

It is rigorous, lucid, and user-friendly ... Nice touches include a number of 'worked' problems, and a succinct summary of equations at the end of each chapter. -- Stanley R Hart, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

'Quantitative Geochemistry' offers the most complete compendium of analytical solutions to mass balance and transport models relevant to igneous petrology … this is a book that is well worth your money if what you want is a compilation of mass balance and box model equations for mantle melting … In this regard, this is a valuable and highly recommended book.” --Geochemical Society
