Excerpt from Cave Regions of the Ozarks and Black
Each of these regions has a peculiar geologi cal history not repeated in any other portions of the earth's surface: each is blessed with its own peculiar style of beautiful scenery and each vies with the other and all the world besides for the supremacy of its truly wonderful caves. Yet it should be well understood that the claims are not based on an unworthy spirit of rivalry, nor any desire to deny the greatness and beauty of already famous members of the Cave family. It is simply an announcement that the family is. Much larger than has been generally supposed, and the more recently presented members worthy of the full measure of distinguished honors.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a charismatic perspective into the realm of cave studies, a relatively recent scientific practice that combines elements of geology and history. The author, a member of the prestigious Society of Speleology, utilizes the opportunity to introduce the reader to the captivating beauty and enigmatic nature of cave environments. In doing so, they draw on their own experiences and explorations to paint a picture of the geological processes that have shaped these subterranean wonders. Yet this is not simply a work of scientific observation, for the author also explores how the impact of human history and the influence of the creative imagination have shaped our perception of caves. As such, it contains insights into the history of cave exploration and cultural attitudes towards the deep, dark spaces of our world. Ultimately, this book not only gives detailed, picturesque tours of several significant caves but also broadens the readers' perspective on how humans engage with and make sense of the world around them.
