For centuries, volcanic eruptions have captured our imaginations. Whether as signposts to an underworld, beacons to ancient mariners, or as an extraordinary manifestation of the natural world, volcanoes have intrigued many people, who have left records of their encounters in letters, reports and diaries and through sketches and illustrations. This book tells the stories of volcanic eruptions around the world, using original illustrations and first-hand accounts to explore how our understanding of volcanoes has evolved through time. Written accounts include Pliny's description of the 79 CE eruption of Vesuvius, stories recounted by seventeenth-century sea-farers, and reports of expeditions made by eighteenth- and nineteenth-century natural historians, including Alexander von Humboldt and Charles Darwin. Illustrations range from fragments of scrolls, buried in the great eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii, to Athanasius Kircher's extraordinarily detailed sketches, made in the seventeenth century, to the spectacular London sunsets caused by Krakatoa's eruption in 1883. They also include the first photograph of a volcanic eruption and twenty-first-century imaging of Santorini. These varied and compelling accounts enrich our perspective on current studies of volcanoes and challenge us to think about how we might use our contemporary understanding of volcanology to prepare for the next big eruption.

Imagine being able to pick up or touch an object and in a few moments time, know everything there is to know about it. Imagine not knowing you were predisposed to haptic sensitivity until some stressor plunged you into a world you weren't prepared for. Nathan Heart, youngest of five siblings, has come to ignore the freakish noises inside Heart Manor and the brutal rankles of his eldest sister over the last twelve months. Alone, after watching the decline of his mother during the last stages of Alzheimer's, and the duress of fulfilling the last wishes of her Will, his only hope is to sell the estate and be free of his indentured bondage. Refusing to accept supernatural explanations for strange happenings in the empty mansion, Nathan feels he may have inherited his parent's genome of insanity, causing the noises to take on a different meaning. On the verge of seeking professional help for the unthinkable, Nathan Heart is thrown a lifeline. The house is sold, but the new owners have attached a web of strings that will hurtle him down a rabbit hole he never knew existed.
