Hi all.
Can anyone recommend me a good, easily available, book on "adventure and discovery" underground?
I'm not sure how to describe what I'm looking for exactly. But, I've just finished reading Edmund Hillary's "High Adventures" about the conquest of Mount Everest, and I've just ordered Thor Heyerdahl's book on his crossing the Pacific Ocean on the raft Kon-Tiki. Something along those lines, but on exploration/adventure underground.
So, something factual. Perhaps a first exploration of something important.
It doesn't have to be recent. It doesn't have to be of a cave system in the UK. And I prefer reading about eventual success, not "death and destruction". A book which, as a side effect, increases my knowledge of caving would be good.
