"Volcanic World's is the first general review of volcanic activity throughout the Solar System. Written by active research scientists, successive chapters present the evidence for extensive volcanic activity, both in the past and at the present time, on Earth and the planets of the Solar System. As well as describing the state-of-the-art of planetary volcanism, the book also shows how frontline scientists working in this field conduct their research, highlighting the aspects of danger, discovery and insight inherent in this topic." "The book contains the very latest, spectacular images of volcanoes on the Earth and the planets, in both colour and black and white."--Jacket.
