Editorial Reviews
Review
'... a masterly overview of the history, principles, experimental techniques and practical applications of this wide-ranging and burgeoning field ... This book will be of very widespread interest and will be routinely used by practising academic and industrial geologists and geochemists.' Anthony E. Fallick, Times Higher Education Supplement
'Dickin clearly and concisely reviews an enormous breadth of literature ... This is a notable contribution to the scientific literature on radiogenic isotope geology. It provides a readable introduction to applications of radiogenic isotopes for scientists from other disciplines and an important reference for students and researchers working in isotope geology.' Joel D. Blum, Nature
'I enjoyed Dickin's writing style; it is authoritative, and his historical perspective both places ideas in context and provides well-paced introductions to the more difficult topics.' C. J. Hawkesworth, Journal of Petrology
