For older elementary kids

This is a more comprehensive look at Carlsbad Caverns (and caves in general). It features the discovery of the caverns and early human explorations. I thought one of the more interesting sections(and unique to this book) was on the importance of bats to humans -- both for pollination purposes, and for their guano -- used as fertilizer, it boosted crop production. Wonderful, large color photographs -- very good book.
