NO LIBRARY OR COFFEE TABLE CAN BE WITHOUT 2008-05-14
First, what this book is not: It is not a textbook. I.e. there are not many written pages.
What this book IS: a fabulous document of some of the most dramatic volcanoes around the globe. Every continent is included. Incredible photos. In fact, every page has two or three beautiful colour photos, with sidebars detailing the important salient qualities.
An outstanding and exciting contribution to my personal volcano library. A must!!!
