This
book is an introduction to
Hawaii's volcanoes, written with both children and
adults in mind. It discusses kinds of volcanoes, how they erupt, kinds of
lava and how a seismograph works. How the Hawaiian Islands were formed
with descriptions of the volcanoes and a history of eruptions and earthquakes
are included. A brief retelling of the legend of Pele, the volcano
goddess, places the volcanoes in their cultural context. The many photos,
maps and sketches add much to an an understanding of the dynamic nature of Hawaii's
volcanoes.
