In The Voice of This Stone, a widely published and respected volcanologist with
five decades of scientific study and boots-on-the-ground experience shares his
expert knowledge. Through more than a dozen case studies from around the globe,
Dr. Kevin Scott offers chilling details about what happened before, during, and
after infamous volcanic cataclysms. During his lengthy career as a field geologist
with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Scott traveled extensively to visit sites that
were dramatically altered by forces within the earth. He has witnessed firsthand what happens when tectonic plate movement ignites earthquakes and volcanic activity such as eruptions and killer lahars, massive mud-and-debris landslides that roar down mountainsides. Scott’s case studies highlight some of the best known events and advance warnings regarding future episodes. By deciphering the histories of other disasters, Scott proposes, lives can and will be spared.
