The second edition of Volcanoes discusses the impact of volcanic
eruptions on the Earth's environment-a cause of debate and extensive
research by leading academics worldwide. Featuring excellent
illustrations, the text includes a new chapter on volcanic hazards,
which looks at complex scientific and sociological issues surrounding
risk mitigation. In addition, it provides updated information on new
eruptions, research findings, and planetary studies while preserving the
strengths of the first edition-accessibility, clarity, and wit.
Volcanoes, 2/e is ideal for undergraduate courses in geology, earth
science, geography, environmental science and planetary science.
