Editorial Review:
Langmuir provides a thorough presentation of natural chemical concentrations, systems and processes to help readers (1) understand controls on the chemical quality of surface and subsurface waters, and (2) distinguish between the natural and the anthropogenic. Unlike most authors, whose civil/sanitary engineering backgrounds promote a more aquatic chemistry perspective, LangmuirÕs geology/geochemistry experience focuses coverage on the chemical interactions between water and geological materials. The book provides valuable training in using in the geochemical computer code MINTEQA2 as an integral problem-solving tool.

Textprinted is light ink and seems to be stretched to one side of the page. This is a difficult subject to put in a book, but about as good of job as Drevers version called The Geochemistry of Natural Waters.
Good material with landmines 2008-09-03
I used this book for a graduate course in Envvironmental Engineering. I found the material comprehensive and well presented. However, some of the example problems have errors that require considerable time to shake out when learning the material. This book really needs an errata page and solicitation of errors.
thorough textbook 2007-02-12
leading text in aqueous geochemistry is thorough and well founded. A very good reference.
Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry 2004-06-17
This was one of the better texts that I used for a graduate course in chemical hydrogeology. More quantitative than most of the other books avialable. I found it somewhat useful. There are plenty of problems at the end of the chapters and the text covers more topics than Drever or Kehew. Langmuir covers thermochemical principles, kinetics, complexes, acid-base reactions, carbonate chemistry, silicate weathering, adsorption-desorption, redox reactions and computer models. This is a worthwhile textbook.

Very valuable book. Useful for scientist as well as students of protection of environment
