4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 From: Melanie Holmes <holmesauthor11@xxxxxxxxx> The Tonga Geological Services scientists watching Tonga-Hunga's smaller eruption on Thursday, 13 January, speaks volumes. Who are the people who put themselves in harm's way to study volcanoes? A Hero on Mount St Helens seeks to answer this question, and its publisher, University of Illinois Press, is offering it for 50% off through 31 January by using code HOLMES50 at their website. Needless to say, the book industry took a hit during Covid, which pales in comparison to the plight of many. Still, David Johnston's life story waited 39 years to be told. People know how he died, but not how he lived. With the permission of the Johnston family and input from close friends comes the biography of David A. Johnston, who died in the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens. Before David died, he lived; before he was a scientist, he was a son, a brother, a friend. Vicki McConnell, former State Geologist of Oregon, who gave her endorsement, remarked that the book was like building a man and a volcano at the same time.
