"This short course of lectures is designed for chemical, biological and environmental audiences who, though lacking in geology basics, are quite experienced in chemistry and biology. The structure and contents of these lectures are aimed at giving the reader a general idea of the Earth's chemical life and its related global geological events as fully as allowed by the present-day concepts of natural history, including new directions such as geochemistry of cryogenesis, geochemistry of disperse systems, geochemistry of microorganisms, and geochemistry of cryptobiosphere"--
