About this listen

 As one of the most fascinating and volatile forces on earth, volcanoes have long been the subject of worship, fear, and study. With the aid of famous case histories, Lopes provides a unique background to volcanoes, what they are, why they form, and how they erupt. From the Sunset Crater in Arizona and Krakatau in Indonesia, to the exotic volcanoes of the outer solar system, this guide illustrates the dangers of volcanoes and their importance in shaping the world around us. A fact made only more clear by the crippling consequences of the Icelandic eruption that brought UK and European air traffic to a complete standstill.©2010 Rosaly Lopes (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Environment Science

Editorial Reviews

From the little baking soda and vinegar experiments in your basement to the lore of Pompeii, volcanoes have captured our excitement and filled us with fear for thousands of years. Through famous case studies, Dr. Rosaly Lopes lets listeners in on a more intimate look at one of the most mystifying natural phenomena. Performed with the gentle tenor of veteran narrator James Adam, this audiobook is a great introduction into the world of volcanoes and their importance and effect on the world around us.

Critic Reviews

“Maybe the best compilation ever published. Good … for the interested reader, students of volcanology, and professional scientists … In summary, it is an amazing voyage through the world of volcanoes.” (Eugene I Smith, Professor of Geology, University of Nevada, Las Vegas)
