I first became aware of the work of the O'Mearas through an article in Parade magazine (3/14/99). I immediately ordered their book and was not disappointed. Filled with incredible photography and awe-inspiring text, the authors have not only captured the majesty and mystery of volcanoes around the world, but have filled this book with a plethora of passion and beauty. This is one of those rare books that combines scientific fact with scientific wonder that both engages and mesmerizes the reader. The storytelling is first rate, the information is up-to-date, and the photos are some of the finest to be found anywhere. Whether you are a confirmed volcanologist or a casual observer of these natural wonders, this is a book you will turn to time and time again. This is a certified 5-star book - a "must have" for any home or public library!
