Reviews for Compendium of Geochemistry
"Li includes a more diverse range of topics than does any remotely comparable work, and stresses the importance of cosmological, geological, and biological processes in understanding Earth's environment ... A timely addition to the geochemical literature and the best available compilation of data in recent decades."
