Mountains of fire: the menace, meaning, and magic of volcanoes

---

Mountains of Fire explores volcanoes from scientific, historical, and cultural perspectives. Clive Oppenheimer explains how volcanoes form, why they erupt, and how they shape the Earth’s surface and climate. The book also examines humanity’s long relationship with volcanoes—how people have feared them, worshipped them, studied them, and learned to live alongside them. Combining geology, archaeology, mythology, and modern science, this work presents volcanoes as both destructive natural forces and sources of wonder and inspiration.
