This book is intended for cavers and mineralogists
alike. Cavers will especially enjoy the color photography--at least one photo
of each speleothem type is included. The professional mineralogist will find
the bibliography useful: almost 4500 references are included, an estimated 95
percent of all the articles ever written on cave minerals anywhere in the
world. The glossary is intended to be helpful for new cavers who are not
familiar with the mineralogical and speleological terms used by "old
timers."
