Tóm tắt

"As a volcanologist, Bill McGuire has experienced at first hand the dangers of volcanic eruptions, and he was deeply involved in the scientific analysis of the Asian tsunami. In this lively narrative, he combines the science behind global natural hazards with accounts of his own experiences and narrow escapes while working in some of the most dangerous parts of the world. He gives us a down-to-Earth view of how we might (just) avert Armageddon, and live to tell the tale."--BOOK JACKET.
