University of Cambridge: Think Big: The Power of Volcanoes

Description Share Post University of Cambridge: Think Big: The Power of Volcanoes Professor Tamsin Mather and Professor David Pyle, illustrated by Daniel Long (Nosy Crow) Within the introduction, we’re reminded that ‘volcanoes can be devastating and have buried entire cities, but they also create land and are part of what keeps our planet alive’. What’s more they are constant. Thereafter, we begin with explanations as to their forms and reasons, volcanic regions, stimuli and results. This information is explained, with emboldened font to emphasise technical terms, e.g., magma, molten, lava and eruptions. Furthermore, there are technical illustrations that explain further, e.g., the movement of volcanic plates. We read of different types of volcano alongside those that form underwater, such as in Hawaii Volcanic Park. There are questions asked here such as I’ve never seen in any other book about this subject, including how  do volcanologists explore such dangerous landforms? Like University of Cambridge: Think Big: Artificial Intelligence, the quality, depth and accessibility of information are superb. Bookwagon recommends University of Cambridge: Think Big: The Power of Volcanoes to our readers.
