Volcanos have been around for forever, but this book shows us how little we know about them, and how much we have yet to discover.

Over the course of sixteen chapters, Fleur Daugey takes a deep dive into matters of geology, history, and mythology in a very comprehensive exploration that examines volcanoes underwater, aboveground, or even on other planets! From the monster of Aetna to the princess of Mt. Fuji, volcanologists Katia and Maurice Krafft to the surviving prisoner of Mt. Pelée, she explores the stories surrounding these forces of nature. What if volcanos had nothing to do with the death of the dinosaurs?
