A Dictionary of Karst and Caves
by David LOWE and Tony WALTHAM

LOWE, David and Tony WALTHAM (2002). A Dictionary of Karst and Caves [Cave Studies Series 10]. Buxton: British Cave Research Association (2nd edition). £2.50 plus postage. ISBN-0-900265-24-8. 40pp, A5, with diagrams and photos.

A brief guide, for non-specialists, to the geomorphological and geological aspects of cave and karst science

This dictionary is intended to provide a convenient first reference source, mainly for use by non-specialists whose understanding of cave and karst science may sometimes be obscured by terminology that is in everyday use by scientists. The coverage is biased towards geomorphological and geological aspects of karst and so does not claim to be exhaustive. Although the book is aimed at British readers examples from other regions are also provided.
This volume is, essentially, a revised second edition of number 6 in the series, which is now out of print
