Descent: Subscriptions and information
Descent is the magazine of underground exploration. Published by Wild Places Publishing in the UK, it serves cavers and mine exploration enthusiasts with the best articles to be found anywhere in print plus the latest news and readers' views and opinions.
Current editions are 40 pages in extent and printed on paper manufactured from a sustainable source. The magazine's ISSN is: 0046-0036.
For those seeking some information about the history of Descent, a record of past handbooks and yearbook is linked from the back issues page (click HERE) and the background to the development of Descent is briefly covered on the About page.
Librarians and researchers may wish to note that Descent has never been allocated volume numbers (only issue numbers), although sometimes this has been incorrectly applied in published papers. Although bimonthly, often the first month of publication only is referenced. An appropriate reference to Descent would become, for example: Descent (211), December 2009, as well as including author, title of article or report, and page numbers as appropriate.
