T h e t h i rd e d i t i o n o f Radiogenic Isotope Geology examines revolutionary changes in geochemical thinking that have
occurred over the past 15 years.‎ Extinct nuclide studies on meteorites have called into question fundamental geochemical models of the Earth, while new dating methods have challenged conventional views of Earth history.‎ At the same
time, the problem of global warming has raised new questions about the causes of past and present climate change.‎
In the new edition, these and other recent issues are evaluated in their scholarly and historical context, so readers can
understand the development of current ideas.‎ Controversial theories, new analytical techniques, classic papers, and
illustrative case studies all come under scrutiny in this book, providing an accessible introduction for students and
critical commentary for researchers.‎
