In 1985 in Columbia, more than 23,000 people died due to the
government's failure to take seriously scientists' warnings about
an imminent volcanic eruption at Nevado del Ruiz. In 1993, at
Volcan Galeras, the death toll was smaller but no less tragic:
despite seismic data that foretold possible disaster, an expedition
of international scientists proceeded into the volcano. Two hours
later, nine people were dead.Expertly detailing the turbulent
history of Colombia, Victoria Bruce links together the stories of
the heroes, villains, survivors, and victims of these two events.
No Apparent Danger is a spellbinding account of clashing cultures
and the life-and-death consequences of scientific arrogance.
