Kramer describes the formation of caves by water and gases as well as by lava, wind, and the sea. Also covered are the plant and animal life found within caves and the activities of cavers. A good section is devoted to efforts to protect and respect the beauty of caves. Potentially beautiful color photographs are diminished by poor-quality reproduction. Glos., ind.
