Items related to Caves and Cave Life (Collins New Naturalist): No. 79
There are very few completely unexplored areas on Earth, but caves still offer countless opportunities for new discovery. Under the ground, there is another world, ranging from minute passageways to vast caverns, lakes and rivers and within these there is a unique wild life. This book explores the living natural history of caves - the flora and fauna, their habits and habitats - and explains what they tell us of the past. Cave sediments are often the graveyards of past cave dwellers, such as the hyaena and man, evidenced by the bones and tools left behind.

Book Description First edition, 1993. The book has the bookplate of Eric Hosking to the front pastedown (bird photographer and photographic editor of the New Naturalist library 1943 - 91). The bookplate was posthumously imposed by David Hosking, son and professional collaborator of Eric Hosking. Hardback. 219pp plus index. Dust jacket (unclipped) and in a protective sleeve. The study of cave biology is still in its infancy. Speculation and controversy abound, cavernicolous communities remain under-recorded and new species await discovery in most subterranean habitats. In this book, Philip Chapman has drawn together his varied, expert knowledge of caves and cave life to present an outstanding and cohesive account of what is known of this extraordinary world, which for many, has remained unknown for so long. Jacket design by Robert Gillmor. Book in fine condition. Dust jacket near fine and unclipped. A little colour fade to the spine. Book. Seller Inventory # 1308347
