'The completely renewed edition of the already very successful first edition of "Introducing Volcanology" is nothing but a masterpiece when it comes to the difficult task to translate sometimes rather complex scientific knowledge into a way an interested but non-specialist reader can both understand and enjoy reading, while keeping the information up-to-date, precise and short at the same time.' Volcano Discovery in the popular 'lntroducing...' range of earth science texts from Dunedin and, put quite simply, it is excellent.' Teaching Earth Sciences, "Written by the ubiquitous volcano specialist, Dougal Jerram (aka Dr Volcano), who was recently on television in the BBC's 'The hottest place on Earth' a film about an expedition to the lava lake of Erta Ale in Ethiopia, it is a nice little summary of the basics of the science of volcanology. The subject matter inevitably cries out for good illustrations, and the explanatory diagrams and photographs in this guide are extremely good and certainly as good as the previous two volumes. In addition, the writing is easy to understand (there is also a glossary) and fluent. More importantly, the reader cannot be unaffected by the author's obvious enthusiasm, which comes through on every page." --Deposits, 'This is the next book to be published in the popular'This is the next book to be published in the popular'This is the next book to be published in the popular'in the popular 'lntroducing...' range of earth science texts from Dunedin and, put quite simply, it is excellent.'Teaching Earth Sciences'Written by the ubiquitous volcano specialist, Dougal Jerram (aka Dr Volcano), who was recently on television in the BBC's 'The hottest place on Earth' a film about an expedition to the lava lake of Erta Ale in Ethiopia, it is a nice little summary of the basics of the science of volcanology.
