Friends,
If I told you that an important American cave journal with 367 articles, 736 pages, and lots of cave biology, geology, and hydrology would be available again soon, would you be interested? Please read on.
You might look at my Biospeleology website soon; I have revamped some of the pages. See www.utexas.edu/depts/tnhc/.www/biospeleology/ A link on the home page takes you to a new page, with online bibliographies.
Bibliography of Cave Notes/Caves & Karst (1959-1973) [cnotesbib5.xls]
I made an annotated, MS Excel bibliography of Cave Notes, the journal later titled Caves and Karst. This important journal was published by Cave Research Associates in California from 1959-1973. The bibliography covers all 736 published pages and a variety of scientific subjects, offered here to renew interest in the journal. Many scientists and serious cavers would benefit from the 367 articles, reviews, abstracts, bibliographies and notes. The editorials contain valuable historical comments on cave conservation and management, especially in the western USA, but the journal was international. The journal will be available in bound sets, possibly by June 2006. If you would like to purchase a set, please contact Ozark Underground Laboratory (Tom Aley) at OUL@tri-lakes.net The new bound set will include an introduction by Bill Elliott.
Bibliography of the National Cave & Karst Management Symposium, Proceedings (1975-2005) [nckmsbib5.xls]
I created this annotated, MS Excel bibliography to renew interest in the published proceedings of these symposia, which were important in the development of scientific management of caves and karst. Represented are all 18 NCKMS conferences since 1975 plus six similar meetings, covering 886 papers and 3,803 pages. Scientists and serious cavers will benefit from studying this large body of work. The next NCKMS will be in St. Louis, Missouri, October 8-12, 2007 [Bill Elliott and Jim Kaumann are co-hosts].
Guide to New World Cave Biology (NWBB) [see TexBib link]
A bibliographic database with a custom search engine for Windows, NWBB is a preliminary version of the Bibliographic Guide to New World Cave Biology. It represents over 40 years of work by James R. Reddell, cave biologist at the Texas Memorial Museum, University of Texas at Austin. It contains approximately 20,000 citations with extensive author, taxonomic and geographic keywords. The search engine produces html text, which can be pasted into documents, edited and printed. And there are links to other bibliographies as well. If you have any good cave life photos, news or comments, please send them to me and the North American Biospeleology Newsletter Editor, Katharina Dittmar de la Cruz at katharinad@gmail.com
Thanks,
Bill
