This is followed by broad overviews of cave minerals and speleothems, cave biology and cave fossils. Each section was written by one or more specialists in the topic and is illustrated by clear diagrams and superb colour photos. The book emphasises the unique aspects of the Australian karst, including the variability in the age of the caves (very old to very young) and the impact of isolation on the stygofauna, as well as the vertebrate fossils preserved in the caves. Written in an easy-to-read style, the book is a primary reference guide to Australian karst and represents a valuable asset for anyone interested in the topic, not only cavers and academics. 001476609 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001476609 650_0 $$aCaves$$zAustralia. 001476609 650_0 $$aKarst$$zAustralia. 001476609 650_6 $$aKarst$$zAustralie. 001476609 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001476609 7001_ $$aWebb, John,$$eeditor. 001476609 7001_ $$aWhite, Susan,$$eeditor. 001476609 7001_ $$aSmith, Garry K.$$eeditor. 001476609 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAUSTRALIAN CAVES AND KARST SYSTEMS.$$d[Place of publication not identified] : SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PU, 2023$$z3031242661$$w(OCoLC)1355425691 001476609 830_0 $$aCave and karst systems of the world. 001476609 852__ $$bebk 001476609 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-24267-0$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001476609 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1476609$$pGLOBAL_SET 001476609 980__ $$aBIB 001476609 980__ $$aEBOOK 001476609 982__ $$aEbook 001476609 983__ $$aOnline 001476609 994__ $$a92$$bISE
