"This third edition of Volcanoes published by Freeman, written by the husband and wife team Decker and Decker, provides healthy competition for the others...Examples and descriptions of real eruptions are used to illustrate the processes of volcanic eruptions. These are presented at a level readable by the interested lay person but in sufficient depth to be useful for the student of volcanology...It's a worthy addition to the volcanologist's bookshelf either at home or in the office."

Katie Woolmer@BSI-20-PO-2001 from Milton Keynes, U.K. , June 2, 1999
Excellent overview of volcanoes well worth reading. I really found this book invaliable in my first year of university, especially as volcanoes are my passion. I would recommend this book to anyone with an intrest in all things to do with volcanoes without the hassle of a geological textbook. It covers the main points well and also looks at the impacts upon people who lives near them. The section on volcanic dangers is thought provoking and I found the disscussion and the intergration of diagrams very well done. Very easy to understand.
