Editorial Review

Product Description
Originally published in 1989, Karst Geomorphology and Hydrology became the leading textbook on karst studies. This new textbook has been substantially revised and updated.

The first half of the book is a systematic presentation of the dissolution kinetics, chemical equilibria and physical flow laws relating to karst environments. It includes details of the many environmental factors that complicate their chemical evolution, with a critique of measurement of karst erosion rates. The second half of the book looks at the classification system for cave systems and the influence of climate and climatic change on karst development. The book ends with chapters on karst water resource management and a look at the important issues of environmental management, including environmental impact assessment, environmental rehabilitation, tourism impacts and conservation values. Practical application of karst studies are explained throughout the text.

"This new edition strengthens the book's position as the essential reference in the field. Karst geoscientists will not dare to stray beyond arm's reach of this volume. It is certain to remain the professional standard for many decades." Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, August 2007 ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Revision of Classic Karst Text
Most revisions of textbooks include a few minor updates, some additional graphics and new developments since the last publication date, and a new cover.This book serves as a welcome exception, in that it contains major changes that enhance a text that was already a classic.The field is rapidly expanding, and the authors are intimately knowledgeable with it all.I've chosen it as our text, and I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to gain an in-depth understanding of the state of the science.

5-0 out of 5 stars Improved second edition
The First edition of this textbook was already very good, and the second reflects the increase of knowledge since then making it the current text of choice about karst. There can be few readers even those active in the field who will not find something in the way of a new insight or data collection useful to them.
There is a natural reluctance to buy a second edition of a textbook already possessed. In this case it has been so extensively rewritten that such fears are as full of holes as the karst topography in the text!

Editorial Review

Product Description
Karst terrains - irregular limestone regions characterized by sinkholes, underground streams and caverns - have long been of interest because of the dramatic landscapes and the challenge of cave exploration. But the geomorphology and hydrology of karst drainage systems are now of interest to water supply specialists, urban planners, and environmental engineers. This graduate-level text discusses the chemistry of karst waters, the processes of sedimentary in-filling, the origins of caves, and the evolution of karst systems through geologic time. Since karst develops predominently by chemical processes, this text is written from the point of view of the chemistry of limestone solution. The approach is more quantitive and process-oriented than that of existing textbooks, and the author includes material on environmental problems in karst regions, including land use and land management, water supply, and pollution control. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
This book is the first study of the karst areas of China by a Western geomorphologist. Almost all the sources for the book are from Chinese work, never published in the West. Chinese methods of studying karst differ somewhat from those in the West and these are discussed, analyzed and evaluated. Karst areas are sensitive to environmental influences and Chinese attempts to deal with these are discussed. The book is illustrated by many diagrams from Chinese sources and the author's own photographs. Comparisons between karst areas in Europe and elsewhere are made with those in China. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Rivers going underground, great springs emerging from the ground, independent hollows and basins instead of connecting valleys, deep potholes and vast caves, isolated towerlike hills reminiscent of the unbelievably steep peaks depicted in Chinese paintings—these are some of the distinctive features of karst, the name given to the kinds of country that owe their special characteristics to the unusual degree of solubility of their component rocks in natural waters.

The special nature of karst is not only intrinsically interesting; it affects many aspects of life in the areas where it is found—water supplies, agriculture, engineering construction, tourism. There are, then, practical as well as scientific reasons for its study.

The dramatic quality of karst landforms has caught the imagination of specialists and laymen alike. This book contains much to stimulate and inform the general reader as well as the undergraduate and high school student for whom it is written. It will be of particular interest to the hydrologist, the speleologist, and the sporting caver and potholer. ... Read more
