'He provides notable accounts of carbonate dissolution, the mechanics of groundwater flow and the geochemistry of karst waters. His command of these fields on occasion results in authoritative pronouncements on the linkages between laboratory theory and field evidence. This is a rare talent and is well exemplified here in the discussion of the processes of karst conduit and aquifer development.' Nature 'White's book has a lot of interesting material. This is a book which should be read by general geomorphologists to bring them up to date in the special landscapes of karst.' Times Higher Education Supplement 'This is a good book; if you are interested in karst buy it.' Journal of Quaternary Science 'There is a wealth of information and detailed discussion contained within this volume, and despite its scope and the nature of its title, I found it ... extremely readable.' 'The book is an impressive one that is worth consultation in many fields. It is good for background knowledge, and deserves to reach a wider audience than academics alone.' Descent Oct\Nov 89 'a helpful and modern reference book' A.C. Waltham, Geological Magazine 126 (2) 1989
