Review: Most books about volcanoes describe volcanoes for the arm-chair reader and explain what they are and what makes them erupt. This book is directed at people who want to actually visit volcanoes. It first tells you how to choose a volcano to visit: describing the volcanoes of the world, giving the basic facts about volcanoes and their eruptions, and explaining how to plan for a safe visit. The second part of the book describes specific volcanoes in Hawaii, USA, Italy, Greece, Iceland, Costa Rica and the West Indies and describes what to do and what to see on specific volcanoes.
