It is a first comprehensive textbook on silicon isotope geochemistry, which is a new branch of stable isotope geochemistry. The history and present status of silicon isotopestudies are reviewed and the analytic methods for silicon isotopes are described . the natural distribution and fractionation mechanisms of silicon isotopes are discussed in detail. And the applications of silicon isotopes in the study of mineral deposits are especially emphasized.
