Geochemistry. Textbook. Perelman A.I.

The textbook illuminates the main sections of modern geochemistry. The presentation is based on ideas about the four types of migration of chemical elements-mechanical, physicochemical, biogenic and technogenic. Particular attention is paid to the teachings of V. I. Vernadsky about biogenic migration and the biosphere as a theoretical basis for solving environmental problems. In the second edition, a characteristic of a number of sections was expanded, including geochemical methods of searching for minerals.

The textbook can be useful to geologists, geographers, soil scholars and other specialists interested in geochemistry.
