Understanding their nature is vital to prevent significant loss of life in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated with over 300 original colour photographs and diagrams, the book is written in an informal manner, minimising jargon.

Volcanoes have continued to erupt (some 61 eruptions with VEI magnitudes greater than 3 have taken place since 2010), and in this revised and updated edition, the authors describe the largest of these, and the ones that have had the most impact on society. \u003ci\u003eVolcanoes\u003c\/i\u003e, Second Edition, contains more than 80 new photographs and figures to better illustrate volcanic features and processes, with an updated Bibliography that includes important papers describing recent eruptions and new findings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVolcanologic research is improving the foundations of knowledge upon which all our science rests, and we briefly summarise the most important of these advances and new research tools developed over the past eleven years. The most productive of these new tools are remotely operated, constantly monitoring volcanoes and their impacts on the Earth’s atmosphere from space and exploring new volcanic worlds beyond the bounds of Earth. Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) are now widely available to better understand the most active volcanoes on Earth - those beneath the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis superlative textbook will enable students who may never see an erupting volcano to evaluate news stories about far-away eruptions, and to distinguish between overly sensational stories and factual reporting that puts facts in context.
