What are the real risks posed by a volcanic eruption near a city - what is fact and what is myth? How have volcanic eruptions affected cities in the past, and how can we learn from these events? Why do communities continue to develop in such locations, despite the obvious threat? In this fascinating book, Grant Heiken explores global examples of cities at risk from volcanoes, from Italy, the US, Mexico, Ecuador, The Philippines, Japan and New Zealand, providing historical and contemporary eruption case studies to illustrate volcanic hazards, and cities' efforts to respond to them, both good and poor. He shows that truly successful volcanic hazard mitigation cannot be accomplished without collaboration between experts in geology and natural hazards, public health, medicine, city and infrastructure planning, and civil protection. This is a topical and engaging read for anyone interested in the history and future activity of these dangerous neighbors.
Editorial : "Dangerous Neighbors: Volcanoes and Cities is a timely and authoritative wake-up call for over 60 global cities which Grant Heiken has identified within range of the world's most dangerous active volcanoes. Devising effective disaster reduction measures for the wide range of volcanic hazards at these cities presents one of the greatest environmental challenges of our times."

There are many more. I've recently had prostate cancer surgrey and the book was so informative and helpful. The full color photographs go a long way to expressing ideas in the book moreso than the drawings in the original version, and just about every major technique is covered. There have been several miss prints of puzzles making them have no correct answer and the key on the back shows the correct puzzle. But, you can always revert back to the book and do any of the excersises over and over again as many times as you want to. The main female character was unrelatable for most of the book. The breadth of her research, as well as her suggestions as to methods of helping alleviate the conditi
