The book "Technological aspects of rational subsoil use . The role of technological assessment in the development and management of mineral resources” by the authors of Y. C. Karabasov and T. In. Bashlykova is a unique publication that immerses the reader in the complex and multifaceted world of mineral resources, their extraction and rational use. In the context of global climate change and increasing pressure on natural resources, this work becomes especially relevant, offering new approaches and solutions for effective subsoil management. The book examines the key aspects of technological assessment that play an important role in the development and exploitation of mineral resources. The authors emphasize the need to integrate modern technologies into the practice of subsoil use, which allows not only to increase production efficiency, but also to minimize the negative impact on the environment. The reader will be able to learn about different methods of reserves assessment, modern mining technologies, as well as how these processes can be optimized with innovative solutions. The book will be of interest to a wide range of readers: from undergraduate and graduate students studying geology and mining, to professionals in the field of ecology, economics and resource management. It will also attract the attention of professionals working in the mining industry, as well as representatives of government agencies involved in environmental management and environmental protection. If you are interested in the topics of sustainable development, natural resources management and new technologies in the mining industry, then this publication will be a real find for you. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues: from economic efficiency and environmental safety to the social aspects of subsoil use. The authors emphasize that the rational use of mineral resources is impossible without taking into account all these factors. They suggest the reader to look at the problem of subsoil use from different angles, which allows to form a more complete picture of the current state of the industry and the prospects for its development. The style of the authors is characterized by accessibility and clarity of presentation, which makes complex technical aspects understandable even for an unprepared reader. Karabasov and Bashlykov use many examples and cases from real practice, which allows them to better assimilate the material and apply it in practice. Their previous work is also noteworthy, as they have already established themselves as experts in geology and environmental management. The book "Technological aspects of rational subsoil use" is not just a textbook, but an important contribution to the scientific understanding of issues related to sustainable development and rational use of natural resources. It will be a useful resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of how technology can change the approach to subsoil use, making it more efficient and safe for the environment. If you are looking for literature that combines a scientific approach and a practical focus, then this publication will be an excellent choice. It will not only expand your knowledge in the field of subsoil use, but also inspire new ideas and solutions that can be applied in your professional activities. Do not miss the opportunity to get acquainted with this important work, which can change your idea of the future of the mining industry
