"Vesuvio a scuola" is a new book on Vesuvius risk education produced for the Italian readers and educators in particular. It provides the educational methods and examples from Vesuvius area schools on how to educate elementary, middle, and secondary level students about the volcano and its surroundings. The book also addresses the education of adults and the failures of risk managers and their advisors in confronting the Vesuvius problem seriously and from an interdisciplinary perspective. The book includes 15 years of author's experiences working with the educators, students and people living around Vesuvius and as such it compliments the earlier Italian and English publications of the author (Educazione al Rischio Vesuvio (1998), VESUVIUS: Education, Security and Prosperity (2006)). These books are available from www.amazon.com, www.elsevier.com, and other book distributors. ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
