In this oversized volume, award-winning photographer Philippe Bourseiller documents the awesome power and devastating aftermath of volcanoes. More than 170 full-color double spreads depict the volatile outbursts of active volcanoes with photos of red-hot oceans and rivers of fire, massive craters and islands formed from molten rock, and silt-coated towns. The book begins with a discussion of how volcanoes have been alternately worshiped and feared by different cultures throughout history and ends with a chapter on what is currently known by science about the natural phenomena behind volcanic eruptions.

From the ancient ruins of Pompeii, wrecked by the wrath of Vesuvius, to the recently reawakened Guagua Pichincha, near the equator, Bourseiller visually traces the history and terrible beauty of volcanoes while the text explains the most up-to-date methods of predicting and adapting to the eruptions of these awe-inspiring giants.
