Beneath
the Surface Produced with the assistance of ASF and published by University
of NSW Press, this excellent book (reviewed in Australian Caver 159 and
Helictite ) comprehensively covers what we presently know about Australia's
caves including the varieties of cave types and how they form, cave fauna,
fossils, Aboriginal relics and decorations in caves, and a history of
cave exploration and cave science in Australia. The contributors include
some of Australia's leading scientists - all of them active cavers. It
is
illustrated with 37 colour and 49 black and white photos, with maps and
line drawings. Available from good bookshops, or for mail ordering details,
