N2  - This comprehensive textbook provides a detailed introduction to the principles and applications of stable isotope geochemistry. The book explains the theoretical foundations of isotope fractionation, isotopic equilibrium, and kinetic processes, together with analytical and experimental methods used in isotope research. It explores the geochemical behavior of traditional and non-traditional stable isotopes and demonstrates their applications in earth sciences, environmental studies, hydrology, climatology, oceanography, paleontology, mineralogy, and biogeochemistry. Through numerous examples and case studies, the author illustrates how isotope signatures can be used to investigate geological processes, reconstruct paleoenvironments, trace environmental changes, and understand interactions within natural systems. Widely regarded as a standard reference in isotope geochemistry, the work serves students, researchers, and professionals in geosciences, chemistry, and environmental science
