Encyclopedia of Caves, Third Edition, provides detailed background information to anyone with a serious interest in caves. This includes students, both undergraduate and graduate, in the earth, biological and environmental sciences, and consultants, environmental scientists, land managers and government agency staff whose work requires them to know something about caves and the biota that inhabit them. Caves touch on many scientific interests in geology, climate science, biology, hydrology, archaeology, and paleontology, as well as more popular interests in sport caving and cave exploration. Case studies and descriptions of specific caves selected for their special features and public interest are also included. This book will appeal to these audiences by providing in-depth essays written by expert authors chosen for their expertise in their assigned subject.

La 4e de couv. indique : "Caves et celliers sont des espaces techniques dédiés au stockage et à la conservation, particulièrement des denrées alimentaires telles que le vin. Ces dépendances domestiques sont habituellement cachées, invisibles à la vue du public. Il en résulte que caves, celliers et autres structures souterraines des habitats font figure de parents pauvres de l'histoire de l'architecture.Pour autant, au Moyen Age comme à l'époque moderne, les caves sont essentielles à l'économie des habitations ou des bâtiments dont elles dépendent. Les techniques mises en oeuvre dans leur construction, l'organisation interne, les aménagements spécifiques, ou encore la manière dont elles furent utilisées, attestent l'importance qui leur a été accordée. Figeant le parcellaire et la présence de vestiges antérieurs, les caves sont des témoins essentiels pour comprendre les dynamiques de développement des villes. En milieu urbain, elles s'accompagnent parfois de réseaux souterrains formés par les carrières d'extraction de pierre. Des parallèles peuvent être établis avec les caves et celliers situés en milieu rural, notamment ceux d'ensembles seigneuriaux, de châteaux, d'abbayes ou d'autres établissements religieux.Ce livre offre la première synthèse archéologique sur les caves et celliers des maisons médiévales et modernes tant en France qu'en Europe et au Liban."

"For the ancient and modern Maya, geographic features like caves, mountains, springs, and abandoned cities are viewed as powerful entities who need to be given regular offerings. As a result, Guatemala's Northern Transversal Strip has been a battle ground between foreign powers and local independence movements over several thousand years"--

This book analyzes the murals and texts of the Dunhuang Grottoes, one of the most famous sites of cultural heritage on the Silk Road in Northwest China, from an educational perspective. The Dunhuang Grottoes are well-known in the world for their stunning beauty and magnificence, but the teaching of Dunhuang advocates a philosophical perspective that cosmos, nature, and humanity are an interconnected whole, and that all elements function interactively according to universal and relational principles of continuity, cause-and-effect, spiritual connection, and enlightenment. Xu Di and volume contributors highlight the moral education and ethics found throughout the Dunhuang with numerous stories of the personal journeys and growth of the Buddha and bodhisattvas, discussing and analyzing these teachings, and their possible implications for modern education systems throughout China and the world today.

Les cavernes et la philosophie ont une longue histoire commune : métaphore de la condition humaine dans la fameuse allégorie platonicienne, la caverne est alors considérée comme une prison enfumée dont les hommes auraient à se libérer. Ce livre a l’ambition de ramener la pensée dans cet habitat troglodyte originaire. Que peut y trouver l’esprit humain ? Et que nous enseignent les cavernes ? Les représentations que nous avons forgées de nos lointains ancêtres ont beaucoup évolué à travers le temps, comme en témoigne l’histoire des études de l’art pariétal (entre - 40 000 et - 10 000 ans) qui a toujours été à la fois découvert et caché, vu et occulté, compris et ignoré. Ces changements montrent que ces représentations trahissent autant les croyances des historiens qui les élaborent qu’elles révèlent la réalité objective des hommes qu’elles décrivent. Il importe ainsi de porter un regard philosophique sur nos interprétations de l’art paléolithique afin de questionner nos connaissances, nos méthodes et surtout nos manières de reconstituer et de construire des mondes. Comment réussir à voir ce qu’il y a à voir dans les grottes ? C’est la question que Mats Rosengren nous invite à nous poser.

This is the first book-length treatment of Neolithic burial in Britain to focus primarily on cave evidence. It interprets human remains from forty-eight caves and compares them to what we know of Neolithic collective burial elsewhere in Britain and Europe. It reviews the archaeology of these cave burials and treats them as important evidence for the study of mortuary practice. Drawing on evidence from archaeology, anthropology, osteology and cave science, the book demonstrates that cave burial was one of the earliest elements of the British Neolithic. It also shows that Early Neolithic cave-burial practice was highly varied, with many similarities to other burial rites. However, by the Middle Neolithic, a funerary practice which was specific to caves had developed.

In 2010 startte kunstenaar Louis De Cordier met de bouw van zijn Biblioteca Del Sol: een ondergrondse bibliotheek waar meer dan duizenden boeken en zaden worden bewaard, en die tot op vandaag wordt aangevuld. Ver van vulkanen en kerncentrales moet deze bibliotheek dienen om de kennis te bewaren voor de volgende generaties, ook in geval van een apocalyptische ramp. Dit boekje documenteert de omgeving, de bouw en het gebruik van de Biblioteca Del Sol en bevat een tekst van schrijver-dichter Maarten Inghels en Plato’s beroemde Allegorie van de Grot.
