Abstract
Nowadays we are commonly used that important books, containing new data, new theories, new karst and cave descriptions, etc are published in English. This is why a publication in a less familiar language may be less important from the global point of view but may be much more important; of a key importance even, in the community of its language. Hence we are very glad to highlight the importance of two books, one in the (Brazilian) Portuguese which in fact is not at all less spoken language, and another one in the Croatian language; both authors are former students of the Karstology doctoral programme at the University of Nova Gorica (Slovenia).
期刊介绍:
Karst areas occupy 10-20 % of ice-free land. Dissolution of rock by natural waters has given rise to specific landscape and underground. Karst surface features and caves have attracted man''s curiosity since the dawn of humanity and have been a focus to scientific studies since more than half of millennia.
Acta Carsologica publishes original research papers and reviews, letters, essays and reports covering topics related to specific of karst areas. These comprise, but are not limited to karst geology, hydrology, and geomorphology, speleology, hydrogeology, biospeleology and history of karst science.
