British narrator Emma Hussey delivers an exploration of volcanoes throughout the earth's past, present, and future. Transported from the ancient eruption at Pompeii to active volcanoes in Nicaragua and Hawaii, listeners are drawn into a layered understanding of their global impact and cultural significance. Hussey's grounded performance cedes center stage to these awe-inspiring phenomena as we learn about "reading" historic volcanic events embedded in rocks, compare past humanity's carbon emissions with those now rising from earth, and use what we know about our own "volcanoland" to investigate possible activity beyond the earth. A strong delivery paired with accessible scholarship equals an absorbing production. J.R.T. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
