Book Reviews of Encyclopedia of Volcanoes
Book Review: An excellent, up-to-date book on volcanoes
Summary: 5 Stars
The Encyclopedia of Volcanoes is the best book I have read on Volcanology. It covers a fantastic range of relevant topics which will no doubt satisfy the curiosity and interest in any reader. The contributors have not skimped on detail, and although the language is technical, it is configured so as to make even the more difficult concepts accessible to all, whilst still stimulating the more experienced reader. There is an excellent referencing system to articles, books and papers for further reading.I have now had this book for a year, and still find hours of pleasure thumbing through and discovering new facts and areas of interest to provoke further reading.
