The book "Geochemistry of Hypergenic Boron and Search Signs for Borates" by A. Ivanova is a unique study that immerses the reader in the world of geochemistry and mineralogy, revealing the secrets associated with one of the most mysterious elements - boron. This edition will be especially interesting for those who are fond of geology, mineralogy, as well as those who work in the field of mineral prospecting. Author, A. Ivanov is a recognized expert in the field of geochemistry and has many scientific publications and studies behind him. His writing style is clear and accessible, which allows even non-professionals to delve into complex topics. In the book, he shares his observations and conclusions based on years of research, making it a valuable source of information for both students and experienced professionals. The main theme of the book is focused on hypergenic processes that affect the distribution and concentration of boron in natural conditions. The author examines how various geochemical processes form boron-containing minerals and how this knowledge can be used to search for borates. The reader will learn what factors influence boron formation and how to correctly interpret geochemical data to successfully search for this element. The book also raises important topics related to ecosystems and sustainable development. With growing interest in environmentally friendly technologies and new sources of raw materials, understanding the geochemistry of boron is becoming especially relevant. The author focuses on how boron is used in various industries, including electronics, glass industry and agriculture, making his study not only scientific, but also practical. For whom is this book intended? It will be of interest to students of geological and environmental specialties, graduate students, as well as practicing geologists and mineralogists who are looking for new approaches to the search for minerals . In addition, the book can attract the attention of researchers working in the field of ecology and sustainable development, as it touches on important aspects of the interaction between man and nature. Style A. Ivanov can be described as a popular scientist, which allows him to successfully combine complex scientific concepts with accessible language. His previous works, such as Mineralogy and Geochemistry of Rare Elements and Geochemistry of Natural Waters, have also received positive reviews for their in-depth analysis and practical focus. In Geochemistry of Hypergenic Boron, the author continues this tradition, offering readers not only theoretical knowledge, but also practical recommendations. The book “Geochemistry of Hypergenic Boron and Search Signs for Borates” is not just a textbook, but a real find for everyone who seeks to expand their knowledge in the field of geochemistry and mineralogy.
