Reviews
"This short volume nicely synthesizes a diverse literature on a fascinating topic. This book was clearly written for the community of cave biologists and, early on, the author promises that it will challenge "much of the conventional wisdom regarding the biology of caves." The issues are clearly explained and put in historical context." Richard L. Borowsky, The Quarterly Review of Biology
"This thought-provoking, scholarly work, which raises many questions, will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in biospeleology and allied fields. Recommended." D.A. Brass, Choice Magazine
