For the Basic Geology of Mammoth Cave, Look No Further!

Art Palmer has been caving in the area seemingly forever, and the book shows it. Written for the non-geologist yet with plenty of details ( & black-and-white pictures), it gives you the tools to understand the cave & it's setting. By using examples from the cave, as well as maps & simple diagrams, the complex nature of cavern formation in this area is explained. The ways that the geology influence the layout of the passages is particularly informative, and the detailed step-by-step evolution of the various levels & passages is covered in detail. Finally, the chapter on the geology of the various tour routes changes the tours from interesting walking trips to a virtual feast, with well-written descriptions and detailed maps. If you like caves like Mammoth and want to learn more about the geology of the longest cave in the world, turn to this book.
