Global Environment: Water, Air, and Geochemical Cycles.
Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 1996.
Book information: Publisher, Amazon.com.
This book is a revised second edition of the authors' earlier book The Global Water Cycle: Geochemistry and Environment, 1987. The book is a good introduction to aquatic chemistry in various geological contexts: rainwater, rock weathering, rivers, lakes, estuaries, oceans. With respect to chemistry the book is very introductory; occasionally extensive literature reviews give the book a tedious character.
More substantial accounts of the topics discussed in Global Environment: Water, Air, and Geochemical Cycles can be found in books like the following:
