Volcanoes

The authors have found a balance which enables both novices and experts alike to learn and enjoy reading. I would highly recommend this book to all; from those who simply seek to gain knowledge in the field of volcanology, to those who want to evolve their understanding beyond that of volcanism on Earth. * Ellie Belcher, Lecturer in Geology (UTC Portsmouth), Teaching Earth Science 2022 *Altogether, a little gem of a book and well worth the modest cost. * Chris Arkwright, Proceedings of the Open University Geological Society *
