Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'As time moves on and memories fade this unique, compelling book will serve as an important and accurate first-hand record of traumatic events, faithfully and sensitively recounted by Lally Brown.' Professor Willy Aspinall CMG, Cabot Professor in Natural Hazards and Risk Science, University of Bristol. An enchanting slice of paradise is how the travel brochures described the Caribbean island of Montserrat in 1995. A relaxed retreat where millionaires rubbed shoulders with locals and pop legends like the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Sting, Phil Collins and Elton John came to record their albums at Air Studios. Then on the morning of 18th July 1995 everything changed. After 350 years of dormancy the volcano in the hills above the capital Plymouth stirred awake. On that first day a sulphurous smell filled the air, ashy steam was vented high into the sky and a roaring sound was heard. The residents of Montserrat were frightened. The authorities were caught completely unprepared. As volcanic activity steadily increased half the population left the island and the remainder fled in terror to the safe north. This is a personal diary of the first three years of the eruption 1995 to 1998 and concludes with a detailed summary of activity during the years 1999 to 2015. The book is a powerful and graphic description of the realities of living with an unpredictable and extremely dangerous volcano, with the added hazard of several hurricanes. There is tension, tragedy, stress and fear but there is also much laughter and love.

Download or read book Dangerous Neighbors: Volcanoes and Cities written by Grant Heiken and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the real risks posed by a volcanic eruption near a city – what is fact and what is myth? How have volcanic eruptions affected cities in the past, and how can we learn from these events? Why do communities continue to develop in such locations, despite the obvious threat? In this fascinating book, Grant Heiken explores global examples of cities at risk from volcanoes, from Italy, the US, Mexico, Ecuador, The Philippines, Japan and New Zealand, providing historical and contemporary eruption case studies to illustrate volcanic hazards, and cities' efforts to respond to them, both good and poor. He shows that truly successful volcanic hazard mitigation cannot be accomplished without collaboration between experts in geology and natural hazards, public health, medicine, city and infrastructure planning, and civil protection. This is a topical and engaging read for anyone interested in the history and future activity of these dangerous neighbors.

Download or read book The Kansa Indians written by William E. Unrau and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After their first contacts with whites in the seventeenth century, the Kansa Indians began migrating from the eastern United States to what is now eastern Kansas, by way of the Missouri Valley. Settling in villages mostly along the Kansas River, they led a semi-sedentary life, raising corn and a few vegetables and hunting buffalo in the spring and fall. It was an idyllic existence-until bad, and then worse, things began to happen. William E. Unrau tells how the Kansa Indians were reduced from a proud people with a strong cultural heritage to a remnant forced against their will to take up the whites' ways. He gives a balanced but hard-hitting account of an important and tragic chapter in American history.
