For months in early 1980, scientists, journalists and ordinary
people listened anxiously to rumblings in the long quiescent
volcano Mount St. Helens. Still, when a massive explosion took the
top off the mountain, no one was prepared. Fifty-seven people died
and the lives of many others were changed forever. Steve Olson
interweaves history, science and vivid personal stories to portray
the disaster as a multi-faceted turning point. Powerful economic,
political and historical forces influenced who died when the
volcano erupted. The eruption of Mount St. Helens transformed
volcanic science, the study of environmental resilience and our
perceptions of how to survive on an increasingly dangerous planet.
