Table of ContentsReviewsThis pedestrian work, aimed primarily at students writing reports, concentrates on the disaster aspects of volcanoes with some additional discussion on attempts to predict future eruptions. Buckwalter clearly defines the types of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. However, she often fails to define key words in her explanations, and readers may not be familiar with terms such as seismograph. The short glossary does define seismometer but does not relate it to the previous term. Separate chapters are devoted to eruptions at Krakatoa, Vesuvius, and Mt. St. Helens; others are barely mentioned. Illustrations include both full-color photographs and artwork., School Library Journal November 2005 Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
