Encyclopædia Biospeologica: México, by José Palacios-Vargas, Christian Juberthie, and James R. Reddell. International Society for Subterranean Biology and Unión Mexicana de Agrupaciones Espeleológica, México D.F., as Mundos Subterráneos 26–27; 2015. 8.5 by 11 inches, 101 pages, softbound.
This work was originally begun as a replacement in the second edition for the unsatisfactory chapter on Mexico in volume 1 of the Encyclopædia Biospeologica that was published in 1994, but no second edition was published, so it was expanded into this book. Following some introductory material on the country's karst areas and the history of cave biology in Mexico, it contains catalogs of the subterranean fauna: aquatic sixteen pages, terrestrial forty-two pages, and microbiota eight pages. The twenty-four-page bibliography lists approximately six hundred items. It is available in the U.S. for $12 plus postage from the Association for Mexican Cave Studies; see www.mexicancaves.org/finance/order.html for ordering information and www.mexicancaves.org/other/otherpubs.html for details on the book and also thousands of pages of free PDF files of other books on Mexican cave biology.—Bill Mixon (Or ask me to take a copy to UT Grotto meeting for you.) ---------------------------------------- What great comfort is there to be derived from a wife well obeyed!—Anthony Trollope, Barchester Towers ---------------------------------------- You may "reply" to the address this message (unless it's a TexasCavers list post) came from, but for long-term use, save: Personal: bmi...@alumni.uchicago.edu AMCS: a...@mexicancaves.org or sa...@mexicancaves.org _______________________________________________ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers
