He explains how the abundance of elements are determined, and analyzes the principal structural components of the planet. Upon this foundation, the author introduces geochemical methods of classifying elements, and then discusses both actual and theoretical aspects of element distribution. The clear and authoritative text is illustrated with photographs as well as charts and graphs."- Publisher.
