Publisher's Synopsis
This stunning collection of photographs of Paricutin, a volcano in Mexico that erupted dramatically in the mid-20th century, is a testament to the power and beauty of nature. Taken by William F. Foshag, a noted geologist and volcanologist, the photographs capture the volcano at various stages of its eruption, from the early ash clouds to the massive lava flows that engulfed the surrounding countryside. Foshag's meticulous eye for detail and his passion for his subject make this book a true work of art, as well as an important historical and scientific document.
