✦ Synopsis

BOOK REVIEWS

of lava flows (Manipulation?), dealing with the hazards posed and the various ways in which they have been treated, especially on basaltic volcanoes such as Etna, Kilauea and Surtsey.

Despite concerns about the balance of its contents, this book provides a lot of valuable information pre-sented in a generally attractive and readable format, and it certainly goes some way towards filling a gap in the geological literature. I doubt whether it will attract many individual buyers, but it deserves to be widely consulted.
