Description
Encyclopedia of Caves is a self-contained, beautifully illustrated work dedicated to caves and their unique environments.
It includes more than 100 comprehensive articles from leading scholars and explorers in 15 different countries. Each entry is detailed
and scientifically sound, yet accessible for students and non-scientists. This large-format reference is enchanced with hundreds of full-color
photographs, maps, and drawings from the authors' own work, which provide unique images of the underground environment.
The Encyclopedia
of Caves is an essential interdisciplinary resource for scientists, students, and caving enthusiasts.
Audience
Scientists and students whose research and study touches on caves or their ecosystems, including biologists, geologists, hydrologists,
environmental scientists, mineralogists, etc. Also recreational cavers and the educated general public with an interest in caves.
