A Guide to Caves and Karst of Indiana (Indiana Natural Science)
"A practical guidebook with something to offer both beginning and experienced spelunkers. Readers interested in the geology or topography of the region will also find it worth a look." —Library Journal"This new guide to Indiana caves and karst is a useful addition to this study." —CHOICE"The author of this manuscript, Sam Frushour, is one of the living legends in Indiana caving. Similarity, Jerry Lewis, the primary author of the Cave Fauna section is the definitive expert on cave biota in Indiana." —John Bassett, Licensed Professional Geologist"This book fills an educational gap between the scientific community and the interested public and will attract the attention of archaeologists, biologists, geographers, geologists, and historians. It will also be very useful to members of the National Speleological Society, the Cave Research Foundation, regional caving organizations (i.e., grottos), the advocational caving community (i.e., spelunkers), and the general public, especially those who enjoy visiting commercial caves, which are highlighted in this book." —Dr. Kenneth B. Tankersley, Department of Anthropology, University of Cincinnati"Frushour has amassed a wealth of knowledge and experience in both traversing caves and in understanding their structure and development…The guide covers a lot of ground (or should I say underground?), while seamlessly transitioning between the various aspects of caves and caving. Detailed diagrams and maps, found throughout the guide, offer visual examples of the structure and formation of caves. Additionally, the book is full of stunning photographs of several area caves, cave fauna and examples of karst formations." —The Herald Times
