This book is based partly on a. lecture course given at the University of Tri este, but mostly on my own research experience in the field of galactic chemical evolution. The subject of galactic chemical evolution was started and developed by Beat rice Tinsley in the seventies and now is a flourishing subject. This book is dedi cated to the chemical evolution of our Galaxy and aims at giving an up-to-date review of what we have learned since Tinsley's pioneering efforts. At the time of writing, in fact, books of this kind were not available with the exception of the ... Read more

As a planetary geochemist, I found her clear and precise treatment very useful... the book is an example of straightforward writing...it is easy to find one's way around." (Stuart Ross Taylor, Dept. of Geology, Australian National University, ... Read more
