"The volcanoes of Europe provide a fascinating array of features and processes for student, amateur and professional Earth scientists alike. Made increasingly accessible by the growth of international travel facilities, they offer dramatic landscapes, intriguing geological and geographical characteristics, and compelling histories of their interaction with those who have chosen to live on and near them from ancient times to the present day.
Volcanoes of Europe captures this wealth of material in a comprehensive, clearly written, fully illustrated and thoroughly researched introductory treatment.".
"Volcanoes of Europe features a glossary of the more technical terms that could not be avoided in the text and a vocabulary of volcanic terms used in the local languages. At the end of each chapter is a remarkably comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography, which reflects the authors' command of an extensive range of sources in English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
The bibliographic references include many classic texts as well as contemporary works that have made use of the most recent research based on the most modern techniques available." "Volcanoes of Europe thus provides an invaluable foundation for all who are drawn to one of the most vivid and spectacular aspects of the often tense relationships between the Earth and its inhabitants."--BOOK JACKET.
