From the reviews: "The book is a summary of the 4th International Symposia about Karst (ISKA) celebrated in 2010 in Malaga (Spain). ... This book is an impressive summary of advances related with the study and research of karst formations. It will provide the scientific community a very useful tool for understanding the heterogeneity and complexity of karst. Emphasis is given on knowing how to study these formations intensively, both because of their widespread occurrence and because of their potential as groundwater resources."--- (Natascha Wahlberg Macias, Environmental Earth Sciences, Vol. 61, 2010)
