What are the real risks posed by a volcanic eruption near a city -
what is fact and what is myth? How have volcanic eruptions affected
cities in the past, and how can we learn from these events? Why do
communities continue to develop in such locations, despite the
obvious threat? In this fascinating book, Grant Heiken explores
global examples of cities at risk from volcanoes, from Italy, the
US, Mexico, Ecuador, The Philippines, Japan and New Zealand,
providing historical and contemporary eruption case studies to
illustrate volcanic hazards, and cities' efforts to respond to
them, both good and poor. He shows that truly successful volcanic
hazard mitigation cannot be accomplished without collaboration
between experts in geology and natural hazards, public health,
medicine, city and infrastructure planning, and civil protection.
This is a topical and engaging read for anyone interested in the
history and future activity of these dangerous neighbors.
