Abstract:
Essential sources in Cave Science. British Cave Research Association Cave Studies Series no. 16. (2006), 54 pages. Edited by Graham S. Proudlove. This book contains 15 chapters with bibliographic lists covering all of the disciplines within cave science. Each chapter (see below) contains an introduction to the discipline and then a list of literature sources which provide up to date information on the breadth and depth of the subject. A third section contains links to internet based (web and listserv) resources. The book is aimed at three audiences, the novice who needs to read up on a discipline, the researcher who wants to expand out of their normal field (e.g. for interdisciplinary research), and the ordinary caver who is curious to learn more. Each chapter is written by a recognised authority and all chapters were peer-reviewed by at least two world class reviewers. This is the first collection of its type to reach publication.
