Paperback. Condition: new. TREND, ROGER (illustrator). Paperback. Lanzarote is stunning, one of the best places in the world to engage first hand with volcanoes. Its landscapes are unique and beautiful, volcanoes and lava fields can be explored easily, the rocks are highly visible, the geological story can be clearly summarised, the island is easy to visit, the weather is great (usually!) and there is plenty of accommodation. Spectacular landscape viewpoints abound, many accessible from the roadside, and the whole package has been enhanced by the artist and visionary Cesar Manrique, especially through the Centres of Art, Culture and Tourism (CACT).This awe-inspiring open-air museum of volcanoes has been awarded some of the UNs most prestigious environmental designations, such as Biosphere Reserve and Global Geopark. Lanzarote and its islands are full of astonishing geosites, including Timanfaya National Park, created by the volcanic eruptions in the 18th century, miles of lava tubes (volcanic tunnels), dramatic lava fields and spectacular coastal features. Much of this has been made readily accessible for visitors.Containing 15 new maps and diagrams and over 140 photographs, The Island of Volcanoes is a lavishly illustrated introductory guide to Lanzarote geology and landscape. It outlines the formation of the Canary Islands, the several phases of Lanzarotes volcanism and the islands diverse sediments and hazards. Going beyond the basic geology, the section on Living with Volcanoes addresses water supply, hydrocarbon deposits, vine growing, global geopark and the CACTs. Written in clear, straightforward language and primarily for non-specialists, the 190-page book recounts Lanzarote's geological history in a simplified way. Basic geological concepts are explained in plain English where necessary and it draws on recent research, showing how Lanzarote's rocks and landscapes give evidence of past geological activity.Being authoritative and up-to-date, the book will also be of interest to readers with geological knowledge. Readers will be impressed by the stunning photographs, most taken by professional photographers Ruben Acosta and Christian Hansen specifically for this book. The Foreword is written by renowned volcanologists Juan Carlos Carracedo and Valentin R. Troll, Earth Science Fellows of the Royal Academy of Sciences of the Canary Islands. The author, Roger Trend, is a retired teacher and academic who specialised in geology education at Oxford and other UK universities. A geological guide of Lanzarote landscape for all public.
