5.0 out of 5 stars
Amazing photos, Great history and natural science,
By
This review is from: Hidden Beneath the Mountains: The Caves of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (Paperback)
I was fortunate to meet Joel Despain at his presentation of a recent expedition to Chile. This book was available for purchase at the presentation. The book has some amazing photos from some of the big names in cave photography; Dave Bunnell and Peter and Ann Bosted, among others. This book is easily worth the price simply for the photography. But once you stop browsing the pictures, you discover Joel's text is interesting and enjoyable. The book profiles several cave systems in Sequoia National Park. It covers the history of man's discovery and exploration of the caves. It also explains the geological history of the caves in clear layman's terminology. This book is appropriate for school projects and experienced cavers alike. It also will make a great souvenir for visitors to Sequoia National Park.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great cave book!,

This review is from: Hidden Beneath the Mountains: The Caves of Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks (Paperback)
The book is great! It has a lot of history of some of the major caves in the park. It has maps of the caves, but does not give the location of the caves. So unless you previously know how to get to a cave, this book will not help you get there. But once you ARE there it has lots of fun tidbits about the geology, cave life and history of these remarkable areas.
