Dear List members,

The following I post for Wim Mook, former director of the 
Centre for Istope Research, Groningen (NL), as we both 
think that this book is of interest to many members of our 
community:

Book Announcement
The former Director of the Centre for Isotope Research 
(CIO, Groningen University) Willem Mook, has written a 
textbook on the behaviour and the background of 
applications of natural isotopes in hydro(geo)logical 
research, focussing on the most common stable and 
radioactive isotopes of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. It is 
essentially a shorter version of the extended series of 
Environmental Isotopes in the Hydrological Cycle published 
by UNESCO/IAEA in 2000/2001. The book deals with stable 
isotopic behaviour and the fundamentals of radioactivity, 
discussing (quantitatively, if possible) all relevant 
natural processes determining the isotopic abundances, and 
summarises the handling of water samples and measuring 
techniques. It goes with a separate CD with all figures in 
PP format, in color and blown up to presentation size. The 
data are the following:
