An Introduction to Organic Geochemistry explores the fate of organic matter of all types, biogenic and man-made, in the Earth System.

• investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments
  
• scope widened to provide a broad and up-to-date background - structured to accommodate readers with varied scientific backgrounds
  
• essential terminology is defined fully and boxes are used to explain concepts introduced from other disciplines
  
• further study aided by the incorporation of carefully selected literature references
  
• It investigates the variety of pathways and biogeochemical transformations that carbon compounds can experience over a range of time scales and in different environments.
