A good book on volcanoes and volcanology?

Submitted by san92 on Sat, 06/07/2014 - 21:24.

Hi! I'm new here, so first of all, I want to say hit to you all! Here's my question:

One of my friends is really interested in Geology but specially in Volcanology (she actually plans on becoming a volcanologist in a few years). She already has a knowledge on geology and volcanoes that surpasses the "average person" or "enthusiast" level. I'm planning on buying her a nice book on vulcanos and vulcanology, but I want to pick one that is good an interesting, and that hopefully can help her during her studies, but also not very boring. I know this might be too much to ask, but I'm sure there must be one out there!

Thanks for the help, and sorry for my bad English!

An update: I found two books that look interesting, I'll give you the links in case you don't mind checking them out:

Encyclopedia of Volcanoes: here and here

And Volcanoes: here

If you know another book that would be better, I'd appreciate it if you told me. Again, hanks for the help Smiling face

There are no end of books on vulcanism.

You may find some on listed on the following sites:

British Geological Survey, The Geologists Association, USGS, Blackwell and of course Amazon.

Much will depend on her current knowledge. Some I've seen are so technical they could put a beginner off entirely.
