"Provides the most comprehensive description of karst managementyet encountered in an English language text ... a welcome additionto the bookshelves of cavers and karst scientists alike" ChasYonge "A valuable and timely addition to the speleological literatureand seems destined to become entrenched as the standard of itstime." Progress in Physical Geography "More than 20 years have elapsed since publication of the previousEnglish-language book to treat the science of caves, so the timewas ripe for a good review ... Gillieson provides it here."Derek Ford, Ground Water "In this book there is a lot that is useful and intersting toeveryone, from theorist to practical person. Gillieson's book is anexcellent and useful work as much for students as for karstologistsand experts. Everyone can find a lot that is new and interesting."Andrej Kranjc, Acta Carsologica "Reading through this book I found that I suddenly understoodthings which I had previously found a bit of a mystery. One of thereally attractive things about this book is its price. It isavailable at... a fraction of the cost of most textbooks." CliveWells, The International Caver
