Sinkholes

96 pp. | Pineapple | April, 2002 | Trade ISBN 1-56164-258-4 $$18.95
(3) YA This well-constructed overview of sinkholes and karst--topics only briefly mentioned in most natural-disasters books--helps explain the complex interactions between near-surface rock and water. The text covers sinkhole formation, underground water sources, sinkhole and cavern ecosystems, and human concerns about potential dangers. Color photos aid greatly in explaining this phenomenon. Bib., glos., ind.
