Simon (and I'm sending also to the Texas Cavers list in order to
encourage people to take more advantage of my library by showing the
sorts of resources available there) --
Re you question about caves in Libya: I have a book "Bir al Ghanam
Karst Study Project, Final Report 1981" about an extensive area of
gypsum karst in Libya. It was written by a Hungarian caver, Attila
Kósa. It was reformatted, apparently complete, as files on a CD in
2001, with the title "The Bir al Ghanam Karst and Caves." There are
many references to it on the Web, but apparently not the book itself.
I will lend you the CD if you send me your mailing address. (Or I
could print the thing and mail it to you, but that would cost six or
eight bucks.)
The "Atlas of the Great Caves and Karst of Africa," published in
Berlin (http://www.speleo-berlin.de/gb_publikationen.php), has some 12
pages on Libya. You could order the relevant one of the three volumes
(BHB #29) for $20 postpaid at that Web site, but it doesn't give a
clue about how to pay for it. I'll send a photocopy of the Libya pages
to you if you want me to.
I could probably find some miscellaneous articles about Libya with
some searching through a shelf of bibliographies, but that ought to be
enough to keep you busy for awhile -- Bill Mixon
