Product Description
Popular science at its best: a spectacular window into both the volcanic past and the fiery future astronomers predict for the solar system.
All the elements that form our planet were originally forged in cosmic furnaces: all the food we eat and thus our bodies themselves recycle molecules and atoms that once knew volcanic fire.
The most active—and most visited—volcano on earth is Kilauea in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, seen by three million people every year. With its counterpart Piton de la Fournaise, on the French island of La Reunion in the Indian Ocean, it is characterized by extraordinary lava flows that travel great distances in a spectacular landscape. Together they form the focus of this dazzling photographic essay by two renowned photographers.
The photographs are all reproduced as thumbnails at the end of the book, with caption commentaries, and the reference material includes a glossary of terms. 100+ color photographs.

Wonderful Photographs September 13, 2008
This book has an excellent collection of volcano photos. The photos themselves show a variety of scenes from lava flows, to bubbling lava, volcanoes, the destruction caused by volcanoes and much more. Each color plate includes a description of where it was taken. Great stuff!
An extraordinary pick, capturing these volcanoes close-up and in action. February 7, 2008
THE RED VOLCANOES: FACE TO FACE WITH THE MOUNTAINS OF FIRE surveys some of the most active volcanoes on earth - in Hawaii and on Reunion in the Indian Ocean - and are the focus of a photo essays by two photographers who have spent years capturing these most active volcanoes. While this could've also been featured in our Photography Shelf section, it's the science collection that will find it an extraordinary pick, capturing these volcanoes close-up and in action.
