The illustrated terminological dictionary of structural geology is intended for students and undergraduates studying in the field of "Geology", as well as for geologists engaged in structural research. The dictionary contains 340 terms, which are arranged in alphabetical order. Almost all terms are accompanied by illustrations, for most of them there is an English translation.

The universal psychological features of the interpretation of the idea of fate as an ancient phenomenon of everyday consciousness are revealed. The main variants of interpretation of the predestination of the course and outcome of individual life and ways of acquaintance with them are presented. Archetypal reactions to the predestined or apparent are determined. The reasons for the unfading faith in fate, which testify to the psychological reality of mythical representations, are characterized.

The book is addressed to fellow humanitarians and a wide range.

The book contains a vivid and accessible description of examples of the use of supercomputer technologies to solve a wide range of problems in industry, science and education. The genre of the book is a selection of short articles and stories, presented in popular science form, about the real application of advanced supercomputer technologies in various fields. The authors of the book's articles are Russian specialists who presented the results of their research for publication.

The book is devoted to describing the author's experience in creating ultra-large linguistic resources for automatic text processing within the framework of modern information retrieval and information analytical systems. The proposed methods for presenting knowledge and processing information are compared in detail with similar projects being developed around the world. The book contains a large amount of experimental data on the currently achieved quality levels of various automatic text processing and information retrieval technologies.

The book is intended for specialists, researchers, graduate students and students interested in issues of automatic text processing, the use of linguistic resources in information retrieval, as well as information retrieval in general, and practical issues of using ontological resources.

The work examines current issues in the theory and methodology of global studies: the general subject field of global studies is outlined, the content of the main categories is analyzed, and some methodological approaches are presented. Particular attention is paid to the study of global problems, global processes and globalization. The book is intended for specialists, teachers, graduate students, students, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in the problems of global studies.

The book consists of three parts. The first part presents all sections of probability theory for physics and mathematics specialties. The limit theorems of probability theory and the theory of random processes, which is important for physical applications, are considered in more detail.

The second part presents the main sections of mathematical statistics and considers its applications in the theory of measuring and computing converters as means of physical measurements and in the theory of statistical solutions.

In the third part, the elements of the theory of possibilities are considered as an alternative probability theory of the randomness model, which allows empirically reconstructing mathematical models of objects, including stochastic ones, whose probabilistic models cannot be constructed empirically. Applications of the theory of possibilities in problems of optimization of solutions, analysis and interpretation of measurement experiment, etc. are considered.

The book is aimed at students of physics and mathematics departments of universities.

This collected volume includes the articles by professors, teachers and postgraduate students of the Faculty on actual problems of history and theory of art. 

Intended for specialists, students in humanities and a wide range of readers.

The textbook summarizes the materials of educational and methodological developments of the basic course "Sociology of Religion", taught at the Department of Philosophy of Religion and Religious Studies of the Faculty of Philosophy of Moscow State University for undergraduate students of the educational program in the field of Religious Studies. The publication presents both classical scientific views on a wide range of problems of the sociology of religion in historical, conceptual, methodological aspects, and the author's solution of those problems that constitute the main subject field of the sociology of religion. The appendices contain a number of cases representing examples of sociological research conducted by the staff of the department under the guidance of the author of the textbook — Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Honored Professor of Moscow University I. N. Yablokov. For undergraduate students taking courses in sociology of religion, philosophy of religion and religious studies, as well as for all interested- engaged in the study of religion.

The scientific and auxiliary work was carried out by the Candidate of Philos. M. S. Kiselev, Senior Lecturer of the Department of Philosophy of Religion and Religious Studies.

The monograph is devoted to the scientific, methodological and experimental foundations of soil engineering - an innovative direction in geoecology, soil science and landscape engineering, which allows using models of the physical organization of soils to design and create soil objects (constructozems) optimal in their characteristics using natural and synthetic materials — soil conditioners. In the theoretical part of the work, edaphic factors, processes and models of the natural structural and functional organization of soils are analyzed, which form the fundamental basis of technological modeling to identify optimal parameters of soil structures at the design stage. In practice, the proposed variants of soil structures have demonstrated high efficiency in conditions of irrigation farming and land scaping in the arid climate of the Persian Gulf countries (UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan), as well as greening and landscaping of urban areas with high anthropogenic load on the example of a metropolitan city. 

For specialists in the field of soil science, environmental engineering, landscape architecture, organizations working in the field of agriculture, recultivation, landscaping and integrated land improvement, students, postgraduates of universities in the specialties "Ecology" and "Soil Science".
