New Zealand karst: A voyage across limestone landscapes into the subterranean realm of caves.

"New Zealand karst: A voyage across limestone landscapes into the subterranean realm of caves" is a coffee table book that features stunning photographs of New Zealand's karst landscapes. The book also includes 14 short essays that provide scientifically accurate information about karst formations and are written in an engaging style. While the title suggests a focus on abiotic karst, the authors also explore aspects of New Zealand's biota, paleontology, and archaeology that they find interesting. The book primarily focuses on South Island karst, but some notable karst formations in the North Island are overlooked. The authors have chosen not to disclose the exact locations of the depicted caves and landforms for conservation reasons.
