 Cave Book
I know this is a bit off the topic of survey software, but here is a book you might find interesting. Over a ten year period, three friends and I put together a book on the discovery and exploration of Lechuguilla Cave. The book begins with the digging project that opened the cave and covers 10 years of history from the early exploration to the nationally televised rescue in 1991. It also covers the people, personalities and politics that were an integral part of the story.
