Reviewers’ comments:
“What's not to love about this book? Such a wonderful compilation and synthesis of the research results of studying the deposits of this massive volcanic explosion and putting it into context of the cultural history, eyewitness accounts, state of the world affairs, scientific achievements, and geographic context. The first four chapters make for engaging and gripping reading that both layperson and scientist alike would enjoy.”
“An expansive, well-researched book. Astounding turnaround time for a piece this size.”
