the Deep: The Deadly Descent Into the World's Most Treacherous Cave
by Barbara William/Ende Stone
Book Description: The Huautla in Mexico is the deepest cave in the Western
Hemisphere, possibly the world. Shafts reach skyscraper-depths, caverns
are stadium-sized, and sudden floods can drown divers in an instant. With
a two-decade obsession, William Stone and his 44-member team entered the
sinkhole at Sotano de San Augustin. The first camp settled 2,328 feet below
ground in a cavern where headlamps couldn't even illuminate the walls and
ceiling. The second camp teeter-ed precariously above an underground canyon
where two subterranean rivers collided. But beyond that lay the unknown
territory-a flooded corridor that had blocked all previous comers, claimed
a diver's life, and drove the rest of the team back. Except for William
Stone and Barbara am Ende, who forged on for 18 more days, with no hope
of rescue, to set the record for the deepest cave dive in the Western Hemisphere.

Measureless to Man
by Sheck Exley
Book Description:
Caverns Measureless to Man is the story of the passion of an extraordinary
individual who spent his life exploring underwater caves. For nearly 30
years Sheck Exley was the leader. He set records, he developed the techniques,
and he maintained the highest standards of excellence. Sheck lived a life
of adventure, danger, and excitement of a degree that few people can ever
dream of, or, if they do, those dreams are nightmares. If you participate
on the highest level, you know that some of your best friends are going
to die. If you continue to push yourself and your equipment to the limits--if
you persist in being a world class diver as Sheck was--the chances are
very high that you, too, will die.
This book may terrify you, but it will unquestionably fascinate you,
and in the end, Sheck Exley will convince you that his death came to him
in the midst of the incredibly intense joy he took in diving into the depths
of the earth.

Beyond: The Story of Floyd Collins' Crystal Cave Exploration
by Joe Lawrence
Book Description: In February, 1954, under the direction of Joe Lawrence,
Jr., the National Speleological Society sent the largest, most highly organized,
and best-equipped expedition in the history of American cave exploration
into Floyd Collins' Crystal Cave, Kentucky. The Caves Beyond is the official
account of that expedition and a classic American caving story. There is
no other caving book like it.
First published in 1955 in an edition of 10,000 copies, the book was
out of print soon afterwards. Good copies of the rare first edition are
a sought after prize to book collectors. This quality reprint reproduces
every word and picture of the original edition. Brucker's new introduction
to the long-awaited reprint edition reveals a number of "untold stories"
about the expedition, including stories of the politics behind the C-3
expedition and of how the book came to be written in an attic in Brooklyn
in two weeks' time. There is also a detailed index, which the first edition
lacked.

Caves:
Exploring Hidden Realms
by Michael Ray Taylor
If you were to travel to the Amazon, say, or the source of the Nile,
you would likely find the people there wearing corporate logo-branded T-shirts
and listening to the latest pop hits on the radio. Using a GPS device or
satellite photos, you can track your location just about anywhere on the
face of the planet. Given globalism and the ease of travel to once-remote
places, where is a would-be flag-planting adventurer to go these days?
The answer, writes Michael Ray Taylor in this intriguing book, is inward:
inside the earth by way of the millions of caves that pierce its surface.
Following an international team of fellow cavers--men and women in peak
physical form and apparently without fear--his narrative takes us deep
within the ice caves of Greenland; a vast underground labyrinth of rivers
and chambers in Mexico's Yucatan; a cave on a cliff wall overlooking the
Colorado River near the Grand Canyon, one that no human had ever before
entered; and other great caverns of North America. High-quality (and sometimes
astounding) full-color images accompany the text, offering views that usher
us into a world of blind snakes, bats, strange geological formations, and
uncanny sights that few surface-dwellers have been privileged to see.
Caving is not merely adventure for its own sake, Taylor notes. "Over
the past decade," he observes, "scientists have been surprised to learn
that in the deepest recesses of the Earth are repositories of exotic microbes
... far more varied in types of species and their individual strategies
for survival than all the plants of an equatorial rain forest." Some of
these microbes, he suggests, may deliver chemicals for fighting disease;
they also deliver important evidence about the history of life on the planet.
But, all that said, caving offers plenty of thrills, and Taylor's book
does a superb job of capturing both the science and the adventure of a
journey to the center of the earth. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com |

: Caves and the Cave Environment
by Nicholas Sullivan, George W. Moore
Book Description: This newly-revised edition of a classic introduction
to speleology covers the latest discoveries about the mysterious world
of caves. Drs. Moore and Sullivan are among the founders of modern cave
research. They present here the principles of speleology in language that
anyone can understand. The authors show how cave processes involve biological
as well as geological, chemical, and physical processes, and they examine
such topics as the origin of caves, the structure of cave food chains,
and the evolution of blind cave animals. The book was a selection of the
Science Book Club and is widely used as a textbook in high schools and
colleges.
