This book is a pioneer
attempt by an
international group of
cave scientists to
summarize modern
knowledge about the
origin of caves in
various settings,
examine the variety of
approaches that have
been adopted, and
outline the role of
speleogenesis in the
evolution of karst
aquifers. Along with
well-established
theories and
approaches, the book
contains new
concepts and ideas
emerging in recent
years. We hope that
this approach will
stimulate further development and exchange of ideas in cave studies and
karst hydrogeology. 496 pages, 356 illustrations, Hardback, laminated
cover, ISBN 1-879961-09-1
