Worlds on Fire takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the
mightiest volcanoes in the solar system. From Kilauea volcano in
Hawaii and Mount Etna in Sicily, it leaps to the lava fields and
rilles of the Moon, retraces the historic footsteps of the Apollo
astronauts and describes new volcanic provinces to explore. The
three largest volcanoes of Mars - Olympus Mons, Alba Patera and
Arsia Mons - are profiled, amongst others. The strange world of
Venus, revealed by radar, opens our perspective of volcanism to
features never seen before: pancake domes of puffed-up lava, and
gigantic fault rings sitting over buried magma chambers. The tour
of the solar system ends with the only current eruptions outside
Earth: the spectacular volcanoes of Io - Jupiter's fiery moon. This
highly readable 2005 book, illustrated with the most recent imagery
from spacecraft, will appeal to general readers, and students of
Earth and planetary sciences.
