Most revisions of textbooks include a few minor updates, some additional graphics and new developments since the last publication date, and a new cover. This book serves as a welcome exception, in that it contains major changes that enhance a text that was already a classic. The field is rapidly expanding, and the authors are intimately knowledgeable with it all. I've chosen it as our text, and I strongly recommend it for anyone who wants to gain an in-depth understanding of the state of the science.

The First edition of this textbook was already very good, and the second reflects the increase of knowledge since then making it the current text of choice about karst. There can be few readers even those active in the field who will not find something in the way of a new insight or data collection useful to them.
There is a natural reluctance to buy a second edition of a textbook already possessed. In this case it has been so extensively rewritten that such fears are as full of holes as the karst topography in the text!
