Descent is partially indexed in minute detail. The first part of the project indexed all issues from (1) to (100), covering the years between 1969 and 1991 in a single A4, 56 page publication with 50,000 page numbers in over 10,000 categories in the subject section alone.
The second index to be produced covered the following ten issues, (101) to (110) and subsequent publications were then written, to match a two-year cycle of Descent and were thus suited for binding with the issues they cover: (110) to (121) for 1993 to 1994 and (122) to (133) for 1995 to 1996. The project is ongoing.
The indexes are incredibly detailed, with separate sections covering authors of short reports, main articles and letters, correspondents, cover photographs and photographers, surveys and, of course, a complete subject index to both caves and mines mentioned in Descent as well as many general topics such as rescue and conservation. These are not merely contents lists as are sometimes issued in the guise of indexes, they are truly a major research tool that you should not do without.
Data sheet
Our goods for advertised for sale with postage costs included; selecting the destination other than the UK will alter the price, to take into account the increased carriage charges.
If stock is limited, for example with a single copy of a second-hand book, it will be assigned to UK stock. If you require posting to an address outside the UK, you will not be able to place this order, even though stock is available. We regret this, but the software has limitations. If this is the case, please contact us to enable the options you require.
Please see our FAQs relating to deliveries, and the Delivery page linked from the bottom of each page, before placing your order if time is an important element for your order.
On 1 July 2021 the EU removed all exemptions for tax and customs duty on low value items posted from the UK to the EU, meaning that although VAT is 0% on books and magazines in the UK, VAT is charged within the EU and the tax (potentially plus a handling fee) now apply to all orders to the EU.
We are unable to post any items to the EU with VAT or other duties prepaid; as a small company, it is a long way outside our abilities to engage with an agent to do so. All items are therefore mailed as DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid). Ordering any item from Wild Places requires that you accept responsibility for paying the VAT applicable in your country and any other local charges on delivery.
To be clear: Wild Places will NOT cover any charges levied by your country; it is your responsibility to accept these when placing an order. We apologise for the situation, but it is outside our control. Refusal to pay charges upon delivery will not be accepted as a reason for refunding in full any returned items.
NOTE: Norway and Switzerland are outside the EU and orders will be filled as normal.
