The book is Geotectonics: Learning. for students of universities studying in the specialty "Geology of oil and gas" in the direction of training of certified specialists" by B. P. Gavrilova is an important and relevant work for all those interested in geological sciences, especially in the context of the development and exploitation of hydrocarbon resources. This publication will become an indispensable assistant for students, graduate students and young professionals seeking to better understand the complex processes occurring in the bowels of our planet. In his book, Gavrilov reveals the basic principles of geotectonics - a science that studies the structure and dynamics of the earth's crust. The author focuses on the importance of understanding tectonic processes for successful work in the field of oil and gas geology. The reader is immersed in the world of tectonic plates, their movement and interaction, which is fundamental for the determination of hydrocarbon deposits. Gavrilov not only explains the theoretical aspects, but also illustrates them with practical examples, which makes the material accessible and understandable. The book will be of interest not only to students of geological specialties, but also to professionals working in the oil and gas industry. Whether you are a practicing geologist, an engineer, or just passionate about geology, this publication will help you refresh your knowledge and deepen your understanding of tectonic processes. The book will also be useful to teachers who are looking for quality teaching materials for their students. The topics raised in Geotectonics cover a wide range of topics, from the foundations of tectonics to complex models of geological processes. Gavrilov touches on such key points as the influence of tectonic movements on the formation of deposits, the role of geological structures in the exploration and development of hydrocarbons, as well as methods for studying and analyzing tectonic processes. These aspects make the book not only a tutorial, but also a real reference for everyone who works in this field. The author's style is distinguished by clarity and logical presentation, which allows the reader to easily assimilate complex concepts. Gavrilov uses many illustrations, diagrams and graphs, which greatly facilitates the perception of the material. His approach to learning is based on a combination of theory and practice, which makes the book particularly valuable for students who are preparing for real challenges in their future profession. In addition to Geotectonics, B. P. Gavrilov is the author of other significant works in the field of geology and the oil and gas industry, which confirms his high professionalism and deep knowledge. His work is respected among specialists, and this publication will not be an exception. If you are looking for a tutorial that will help you not only to master the theory, but also to prepare for practical tasks in the field of oil and gas geology, then Geotectonics is exactly what you need. This book will be your reliable companion on the way to professional growth and understanding of complex processes occurring in the bowels of the Earth. Do not miss the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and expand your horizons in the fascinating world of geology!
