Abstract: In 2024, the textbook "Mineralogy of Soils and Soil-Forming Rocks" was published (Ihor Papish, Oleksiy Telehuz. Mineralogy of Soils and Soil-Forming Rocks: Textbook. Lviv: Ivan Franko National University of Lviv, 2024. 400 p.), which provides materials for the study of clay minerals of soils and rocks, characterizes the features of the distribution of soil-forming rocks and the role of rocks and minerals in the processes of pedogenesis. The basics of the classification of rocks and minerals, crystal chemistry and structure, composition and properties of the main groups of soil minerals are revealed. The processes of formation, transformation, destruction and movement of clay minerals in soils and rocks are comprehensively analyzed, and the problems of their genesis are highlighted. The influence of mineralogical composition on the formation of physical and chemical properties of soils, the nature of the nutrient regime and the ecological stability of the soil ecosystem are considered. The significance of the textbook is added by the fact that it was developed based on the principles of the Bologna Declaration.
Keywords: mineral, soil, soil-forming rock, genesis.
