TAJNE PODZEMLJA [Secret Underground] by Drago Margu? 2012 237 pp, numerous photos, surveys etc, average, one a page or more. I have probably said this before, ?More a Coffee Table than a Coffee Table Book!? Printed on art paper and measuring 11? x 11? x 1? inches it weighs nearly 5 lb. Basically this book is a guide to the caves of the Krka National Park which is located along the middle-lower course of the Krka River in central Dalmatia, and just a few kilometers northeast of the city of ?ibenik. It is the seventh national park in Croatia and was proclaimed a national park in 1985. Eighty caves are described and for each cave there is a short description two or three photos and a survey. This book represents years of research and exploration by the local caving clubs. There is also a review of the geography, geology and hydrology of the area. A history of research, biospeleology, and archaeological finds from two caves are also covered. Although the text is in Croatian, you only need to know the meaning of the following words:
Pećina, ?pilja = Cave
Jama ? Pit
Ulaz ? entrance
Du?ina - Length
Ddubina ? Deepth
and the book will come to life! An impressive tome, I have seen nothing like it in English which is a pity as there is a gaping void in the world of books of this calibre based on the British Isles, bearing in mind there have been some spectacular cave finds in recent years.
