The reader will learn about the history of cave exploration; the geology of caves and the spectacular rock formations that are sometimes found in them; caving gear; general and specialized caving techniques; risks and safety measures; and surveying and mapping of caves.

This is a useful resource for anyone interested in caves and cave exploration.
