Volcanoes are a curious wonder of nature that never fails to interest young readers.
Capstone explores this potentially violent phenomenon in this volume in a series on natural disasters. Beginning with a chapter on Mt. Saint Helens, the book examines the formation and eruption of volcanoes. Although the book has the required exciting details these are nicely balanced with solid science. The damage that can be caused is followed with an explanation of the role in volcanoes in rebuilding land and earth. Scientific data is lightened in this well written book with legends related to volcanoes and the stories of famous historic eruptions.
