Volcanoes of the World

A scientific resource that presents information on ten thousand years of volcanic activity on Earth. It also includes fresh photographs and data on some of the most common rock types forming each volcano, information on population densities near volcanoes, and other features. " Volcanoes of the World compiles and lists all of earth's eruptions into one primary scientific source. It is a fundamental research tool and the last word on many issues. There is nothing else like it."—William I. Rose, Michigan Technological University " Volcanoes of the World stands alone. To my knowledge (as a practicing volcanologist for more than 4 decades), there are no competing works in the scientific literature comparable in purpose, scope, and scholarship."—Robert Tilling, Volcano Science Center, U.S. Geological Survey
