Produktbeschreibung
Hawaii began in a ferment of fire. It's environment, wildlife and culture are all built on the basis of volcanoes. Whether active, dormant or dead and eroding away, volcanoes give the islands their unique form and support a rich folklore. The text and images of this book take a sweeping view of the world of Hawaii and its volcanoes. They are studied from a geological standpoint, along with the oral traditions of ancient Hawaiians, and the reactions of early Western observers. Current issues are also covered, such as the impact of live volcanoes on a rocky countryside with an expanding population. Dramatic photography captures the fiery hissing and roaring of active vents and flows. These images reveal how a volcano creates new land, and also destroys the patina of life on the surface.
