Produktbeskrivelse

SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOARDMAN TASKER AWARD FOR MOUNTAIN LITERATURE 2024 'If Michael Palin had been a volcanologist, this is the book he would have written' LITERARY REVIEW 'Gripping' THE ECONOMIST 'Wonderful' PETER FRANKOPAN 'Like a thriller ... This is terrific' SPECTATOR 'Beautiful ... bursting with poetry, with storytelling' WERNER HERZOG We are made of the same stuff as the breath and cinders of volcanoes. No matter where we live on the planet, they have shaped our history and might one day decide our destiny. World-famous volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer has worked at the crater's edge in the wildest places on Earth, close enough to feel the heat of the lava. In Mountains of Fire we join him on hair-singeing adventures from Italy to Antarctica to learn how deeply our stories are intertwined with volcanoes.
