An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry - Geochemistry Series Author:Stephen D. Killops, V. J. Killops, S. D. Killops This book is an attempt to present a readily accessible, up-to-date and integrated introduction to organic geochemistry, at a reasonable price. It does not assume any particular specialist knowledge other than some basic chemistry and is intended to serve as a text for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses in which organic geochemistry is ... more »an important component. It may also be found a useful companion by experienced scientists from other disciplines who may be moving into the subject for the first time. In a book of this size it is not possible to discuss all aspects of organic geochemistry, and emphasis has been placed on the formation of organic-rich sedimentary deposits.
