This newly revised third edition of a classic introduction
to speleology covers the latest discoveries about the mysterious world of
caves. Drs. Moore and Sullivan are among the founders of modern cave research.
They present here the principles of speleology in language that anyone can understand.
The authors show how cave processes involve biological as well as geological,
chemical, and physical processes, and they examine such topics as the origin of
caves, the structure of cave food chains, and the evolution of blind cave
animals. The book has received a Science Book Club Award.
