Several sections are included that are generally neglected in geomorphology texts and their inclusion by White will be valuable and of interest to teachers and students . . . . Discussion of evaporite karst as well as karst and karst-like features in slightly soluble rocks and ice add to the all-inclusive nature of the text. --Journal of Geological Education

The most comprehensive text in the field in any language ...covers many technical and environmental aspects not found in any other textbook. The author has contributed innovative research in most of the major topics; he is the most appropriate person in the U.S. to write such a book. --Arthur N.Palmer, State University of New York at Oneonta

An excellent summary of both the forms and processes involved in the development of caves and related features. --Choice

To write a book on karst hydrology and geomorphology is a major undertaking. William B. White has done an excellent job in selecting material from more than 800 technical books and articles and combining this material with the results of his own extensive experience into an exceptionally useful book. --Stanley N. Davis, University of Arizona

Author William B. White has summarized and outstandingly brilliant career in Karst Hydrology with what will easily be accepted as the finest textbook everl@
