内容説明

This book provides an insight into the field of volcanology integrated with the human dimension, that is people's response to and utilization of areas with significant volcanic risk. Extensive use is made of case studies drawn from many parts of the world, including both economically developed countries and areas that are still developing, contrasting the nature of the problem and the characteristics of human response. This book is designed to be of interest to students of geography and earth science.
