From the Publisher
Review in New Scientist, February 2004: "The Encyclopedia of Caves and Karst Science exceeded my expectations in both range and depth of information: this book is pretty well as good as it could be. ...Editor John Gunn also manages that difficult balancing act of holding the attention of both the general reader and the cave specialist. The book's authority stems from the huge range of topics covered by about 200 experts from around the world. Specialists will find plenty of intellectual fodder in the encyclopedia, of interest not only to speleologists, but to everyone from archaeologists (impressive coverage) to zoologists via geologists, glaciologists (ice caves), hydrologists, conservationists, volcanologists (lava tubes) and so on, with topics such as safety, religion (use of caves for), history of exploration, habitation and military use (see the entry on the infamous Tora Bora caves of Afghanistan). ... Gunn and his advisory panel have produced a remarkably well-written, structured and designed book. It will be invaluable as an essential reference for anyone interested in caves and karst."
