Abstract
Only few cave photography books chave reached a wide international recognition. The best example is the book on Lechugilla Cave, published by Speleo Projects in 1991. The book has been an inspiration to many cave photographers. Incredible photos from the »most beautifull cave in the world« were shot by two teams, led by Urs Widmer Kevin Downey and Sure Ballman. The book also inspired Max Wisshak, one of the most recognised cave photographers, who dedicated his second book to the late photographer and publisher Urs Widmer.
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.
