Description
Texas Caves introduces this seldomseen world, providing basic cave geology and biology, a description of the seven show caves which have been opened and developed for public visiting, and information on state speleological parks.
The engaging text in addition to a hundred full-color and black-and-white photographs reveals the glories of Texas caves, “wild” in addition to commercial, showing various kinds of cave formations, the creatures that live in them, and the people who explore them.
Cavings experiences from cave photographer Blair Pittman, cave discoverer Orion Knox, cave developer Jack Burch, and commercial cave manager Jim Brummett bring to life places that house the hidden beauties that lie beneath the surface of Texas.
Texas Speleological Association Chair Gill Ediger adds what it means to be a caver and how cavers, cave owners, and most people are all involved in the conservation of cave resources.
Texas Caves offers a deeper understanding of the underground world of caves and a call for participation those who want to explore some other dimension of Texas’ natural history.
