The Cave Book (Wonders of Creation)

Teens and adults both love these.

These books are well done and easy to use. Great photos keep it interesting for all ages.

My son loves this book!

MegaInformative!

I was kind of shocked by the picture quality of this book they're not bad necessarily but in today's a visual culture I can't give this five stars on quality alone.

Very nice book! It is written from a Christian perspective just to give a heads up, which we are grateful for!! Lots of fun pictures and great facts about caves! I highly recommend!

This book is very informative but above the comprehension level of people who have not studied caves in the past. The author is very wordy and longwinded.

"The Cave Book" is an educational nonfiction book for high schools and adults. It had lovely pictures from caves all over the world plus illustrations of the things being taught in the text. The author is a scientist who studies and explores caves, so the reader gets a view of what it's like to do that (which I haven't seen in other books about caves). The author is also a Christian, and he tied in what he was discussing with the history recorded in the Bible (like how "cave men" and Neanderthals fit with the Biblical view of history).He talked about: (chapter 1) cave art & people who lived in caves; (chapter 2) caves in mythology, animals found living in caves, and the climate in caves; (chapter 3) cave rock types and cave formations; (chapter 4) exploring caves; (chapter 5) how scientists study cave systems (which includes studying the surrounding above ground terrain and climate).The author used some scientific terms and chemical equations, but the terms were defined in the text and in a glossary located at the back of the book. I found the book interesting and enlightening (and it made me want to go on another cave tour soon), but I would've liked a couple more illustrations. I had to concentrate to follow some of the descriptions in the text (like the cave journey in the example "day in the life of a cave scientist") and a few additional illustrations would have allowed me to more quickly and easily follow the text in these spots.There's also a pull-out poster at the back of the book. I'd recommend this book to any Christian who's interested in caves or who's about to go on a tour of a cave.
