Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this new edition of Volcanology, Dr. McBirney joins Dr. Bardintzeff, author of two previous French editions, to revise and update the text's presentation of volcanology for an American audience, and for English-speaking students of geology in particular. The text examines a wide breadth of topics including the origins and mechanisms of volcanoes, their impact on humans and the environment, the contribution volcanoes have made to a wealth of our world's basic resources, and the role volcanoes have played in shaping the Earth and other planets.

Hot off the presses this month, and written by two of the world's leading experts in the field, Volcanology, Second Edition is a must-have resource for geology students or anyone interested in the inner workings of volcanoes. The text is written at a level that makes even the most sophisticated concepts easily understood by the non-specialist.
