A Handbook of Soil Terminology, Correlation and Classification (1st ed.), edited by Pavel Krasilnikov and colleagues, is a comprehensive reference that addresses the challenges of understanding and comparing different soil classification systems used around the world. The book explains the principles of soil terminology and taxonomy, examines the theoretical foundations of soil classification, and compares major national and international classification systems. A key focus is the correlation of these systems through the World Reference Base (WRB) for Soil Resources, providing a common framework for international communication and scientific collaboration. The handbook also explores traditional (folk) soil classifications and highlights the historical, environmental, and cultural factors influencing soil classification. Designed for students, researchers, and professional soil scientists, it serves as an essential resource for interpreting soil maps, scientific literature, and classification systems across different countries while promoting standardized soil knowledge and global consistency in soil science
