The present book is a sequence in the series of course-books in Рolitical English and is aimed for students of international relations, politics and journalism. At the same time, the book can be widely used by the students, as well as post-graduate ones, who study at the schools of foreign languages, philology, history, state administration, etc. Covering the area beyond those of language course-books, "Fundamentals" supplies a great amount of information on the key issues of modern political culture, including Anglo-Saxon political culture, as the one being part of the language under study. At the same time, being primarily an English language course-book, it supplies lots of linguistic information, including data on the specific functioning of the newest English language. Methodology of language delivery is a combination of modern methods of communicative approach with a traditional one, based on the text analysis. This combination of the leading foreign methodology with the best traditions of the Russian one guarantees a most optimal result and most adequately meets the real needs of a contemporary Russian student.

In conditions of growing anthropogenic degradation of the environment a knowledge of general and specific patterns of distribution and accumulation of various pollutants in the environment of different regions and of ways to improve them are necessary for professionals in the field of protection of the biosphere. In the book sets out the theoretical and practical aspects of the activities of researchers and practitioners. The textbook contains a summary of the study of environmental management, of the significance of chemical contamination in modern society. Much attention is paid to valuation approaches and methods of chemical substances in the environment and assessing of their performance. There are described the principles and methods of remediation of the polluted soils, the assessment of the environmental impact of chemical pollution of the biosphere.

The textbook is intended for students who are training on specialties in soil science, ecology, biology, geography, natural resources and management and all those are interested by a current state of environment.

The book presents all the tasks - theoretical and experimental - of the last five International Mendeleev Olympiads of schoolchildren in chemistry. This is the result of a great work of a large team of chemists from different countries, information about which is also presented in the book. The reader is given the opportunity to cover the whole system of tasks of the Mendeleev Olympiads, to get information about the directions of development of modern chemical science Olympiads.

The textbook characterizes organogenic elements (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur) that are part of both the living matter of bioproducts — higher plants, phyto-, zooplankton and bacteria, and combustible fossils. The main part is devoted to the description of the properties and composition of combustible minerals: natural gas, oil and naphthides, peat, brown, hard coals, anthracites, sapropelites, oil shales, as well as their secondary changes in deposits in the zones of hypergenesis and catagenesis. An idea of analytical methods for studying their properties and composition is given. The connection of the molecular composition of living matter with the composition of caustobiolites — chemophossils and their precursors for the geological and geochemical interpretation of analytical data is traced. Examples of material and material-genetic classifications of caustobiolites are described. The review of modern methods of interpretation of data on the molecular composition of oil and organic matter of rocks is presented. The abiogenic and organic concepts of the origin of oil and the arguments of proponents of biogenic hypotheses and sedimentary-migration theory of the origin of oil are considered.

The textbook is intended for students, undergraduates and postgraduates studying in the specialty 1.6.11 "Geology, prospecting, exploration and exploitation of oil and gas fields" at geological faculties of universities.
