Publisher: Cambridge University Press Number Of Pages: 510 Publication Date: 2005-05-23 Sales Rank: 307204 ISBN / ASIN: 0521530172 EAN: 9780521530170 Binding: Paperback Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press Studio: Cambridge University Press Average Rating: 4 The new and fully updated edition of this popular advanced level textbook reviews the geological applications of techniques involving natural radioactive elements. Comprehensive coverage is given to both rock dating and isotopic tracer studies. Placing more emphasis on applications to the environmental sciences, this new edition covers the latest methods. First Edition Hb (1995): 0-521-43151-4 First Edition Pb (1997): 0-521-59891-5 Download Description: This book provides a comprehensive review of natural radioactive element use in geology. It highlights the use of isotopic dating and tracer studies in solving geological problems. The author presents current ideas in their historical context, thereby leading the reader to an appreciation of the development of modern interpretations. It is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and an important reference for geologists and geochemists. Date: 2002-12-16 Rating: 4 Review: decent book (and discount that creationist review) First, to actually say something about this book, it's a solid and comprehensive look at a burgeoning field. The use of radiogenic isotopes as geochemical tracers and for age determinations of various sorts is now a crucial component of studies of all parts of the Earth system. Inevitably, a single text that tries to cover such a diverse suite of rapidly developing subdisciplines will run into some glitches and not be completely current, but Dickin has provided a very good starting point for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in isotope geochemistry and/or geochronology. This book is just about the only survey text available, and fortunately, it's good. A second point: the "review" posted by the 'reader from Washington State' is a dogmatic creationist screed that doesn't address the content of the book and gets the story of the Jack Hills zircons wrong. The comments by this person could be taken as the type example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. For those that are really interested, I suggest that they look at the original papers involved in the controversy. For those that are just skimming this site, let me point out that the "rock unit" that was dated at Jack Hills is a sandstone, so of course the zircons showed a "confusion of information" because they were derived from all manner of different parent rocks by erosion! If you want to understand the complexities and nuances of geochronology, and learn how these very different techniques are used for purposes like characterizing geochemical reservoirs, determining the temperature history of rocks, and --yes-- determining the absolute age of rock units, read Dickin's book, and only then visit the creation science sites for a hoot. http://mihd.net/h8ocz9 http://rapidshare.com/files/65847922/dick0521530172.rar |
