YA Amply illustrated with art repro ductions, maps, diagrams, and photo graphs, Volcanoes is an excellent pock et book of general current information. This well-done summation focuses on Wegener's Theory of Drifting Conti nents; types and causes of earthquakes; the Richter Scale; the Pacific's Ring of Fire; lava types; temperature-color re lationships; speed, power, and devasta tion of volcanic eruptions; and the ex tra-terra firman volcanic eruptions. This easily read and understood com pact book would make an excellent supplementary text for earth sciences, a motivational instrument for reluctant readers, a good review of vulcanism, and is an excellent informational paper back.
