Thermodynamics of Natural Systems

This is a thorough and rigorous but pleasantly readable account that develops fundamental concepts and introduces the field from a working researcher's-eye-view with substantial emphasis on computational packages where appropriate. Experiment, historical development, and other interesting quirks are included to make the book a good resource for a complete neophyte trying to learn about this field beyond just the problem solving. My only beef is that the book isn't better indexed.

This book is a comprehensive textbook for geologists, geochemists after the book written by Wood and Fraser. It is easy to understand and mainly can be used for a text book in low temperature geochemistry courses. Dr Anderson did a great job by writing this book.
