Non-fiction for Cavers

We have several books on mountain climbing in the library--check No Shortcuts to the Top, Into Thin Air, Dead Lucky, High Crimes in the catalog--but until now we didn't have anything on caving, or extreme caving. Blind Descent is a book about caving explorers and scientists seeking to become the first to find the lowest place on earth. To succeed (and survive), they must deal with waterfalls, underground rivers, hypothermia, and the ever-present danger of losing their lights, if not their minds. The author, James M. Tabor, a sports journalist, delivers a fast paced and compelling adventure.
