The book "Geophysical methods of prospecting and exploration of mineral deposits" by A. G. Sokolova is a fascinating and in-depth study that opens up to readers the world of geophysics and its role in the search for and exploration of minerals. This publication will be an indispensable tool for both students studying geology and geophysics, and for practitioners in the field of resource exploration. From the first pages, the author immerses the reader in a complex but fascinating world of geophysical methods that allow us to explore the depths of our planet. Sokolov shares his knowledge on how various technologies, such as seismic exploration, magnetic and electrical methods, can detect mineral deposits. He explains how these methods work, what physical principles underlie them, and how they are applied in practice. Each chapter of the book is imbued with examples from real practice, which makes the material not only theoretically sound, but also practically useful. The book will be of interest not only to specialists in the field of geology and geophysics, but also to students, graduate students, as well as anyone interested in natural resources and their exploration. Whether you are studying at the Faculty of Geology, Ecology or Engineering, or just want to expand your knowledge of how we search for and use natural resources, this publication will be a real find for you. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues related to modern methods of intelligence. Sokolov considers both traditional approaches and the latest technologies, such as remote sensing and computer modeling. He stresses the importance of integrating different methods to achieve the best results in the search for deposits. This makes the book relevant in light of the current challenges facing geological science, such as the need for sustainable use of natural resources and environmental protection. Style A. G. Sokolov is distinguished by clarity and accessibility, which allows him to convey complex scientific concepts to a wide audience. His previous works, such as "Fundamentals of Geophysics" and "Methods of Geophysical Research", have already won recognition among professionals and students. In this book, he continues to develop his ideas, offering readers not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical recommendations for the application of geophysical methods in real-world conditions. Geophysical methods of prospecting and exploration of mineral deposits is not just a textbook, but a real encyclopedia of knowledge that will help readers understand how the world works under our feet. If you are looking for a book that combines scientific rigor and practical utility, this edition is your ideal choice. Do not miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the exciting world of geophysics and discover new horizons in the study of minerals. This book will be your reliable companion on the way to professional growth and a deep understanding of geological processes.
