### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Two volcanic disasters that were avoidable
  

*by K***. on Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023*

This is a fascinating book that is fast moving yet detailed in the author's analysis of the events that led to, in the one case, the eradication of a town and its inhabitants, and in the other, the deaths and injuries of a team of vulcanologists. And these were avoidable. It is highly recommended to both scientists and to the lay person.In contrast to a book by Stanley Williams who incorrectly claimed to be the sole survivor, this book exposes the truth and shows how slackness and bad planning can cost lives.Victoria Bruce, the author is a qualified geologist. An excellent read!

    Really good, but not great book about scientists working in difficult circumstances
  

*by G***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016*

This volume describes tense situations at two Columbian volcanoes.  One ended in a large disaster and the other in nine deaths -- including six scientists and three sightseers.  I love books about scientists doing science, and this book falls into that genre.  This book convincingly corrects the record with respect to a scientist who has apparently claimed credit for work done others and avoided responsibility for errors that led to the deaths of several scientists. The book could have been better organized -- it wasn't always clear where the author wanted to go with this book. I wish the author would have explained a bit more about volcanoes and the work volcanologists do.  But over all, both a good read and educational.

    Riveting.....The best book since "I Am Alive"......
  

*by W***K on Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012*

I had watched a documentary about this tragedy a few years ago and was really struck by the amazing stories being related.  Although I just couldn't stomach Stanley Williams' story and his lack of safety precautions that were obvious even in the documentary.  I had been trying for some time to find this doucmentary but History and Discovery didn't have it.  I really wanted to buy it because I wanted to show it to my Geology classes that I teach in High School.  So I decided to buy the book.  I saw two of them and one was from Stanley Williams.  As I read the reviews, I decided that I didn't want to bore myself with his self-absorption and his account that was going to be one-sided at best.  As I read more reviews, it became quite apparent that he really relished the attention he was getting for being a survivor and hero and giving twisted details that could be interpreted as outright lies.  There was always something so fake about that man that didn't quite sit well with me, and that was just by watching the documentary and knowing nothing else about the story.  He reminded of the ugly boy who always wanted attention and just kept making himself appear uglier and uglier to those around him.  I kept trying to find this documentary but just gave up and decided to read an account instead, but not from Williams.  So I bought this one.After I read "No Apparent Danger", I was convinced that Williams was a phony and a manipulator of details to suit only himself.  I cried for those people who died such horrible deaths.  My heart went out to the famailies of the people that he convinced to go into a live volcano without proper safety attire and equipment.  When are people going to realize that there is no such thing as a safe volcano. I was so angry at this sorry excuse of a man who was nothing more than a coward who should have felt remorse for having mislead the team in believing that this volcano was safe.  But instead saw an opportunity to make himself the hero when he was a cowering fool looking out only for himself.  He reminded me of Isaac Kline in "Isaac's Storm" and his huberis in making such outlandish remarks about natural events never happening because he thinks he knows it all.  So after reading this book, I really grasped what I figured was the real truth and it was told with real interviews with the people who also survived to tell what really happened that fateful day.  Stanley Williams is a poor excuse for a scientist and should not insult the profession by calling himself such.  He obviously has brain damage that only enhanced his illusions of grandeur.  I want to commend this amazing author for telling the truth.  I hope that the people that worked hard and got royally shafted by this phony get rightly recognized for being the ones that did the real work and research.I highly recommend this book because it is written extremely well and the geology is most informative.  It is such a compelling story that will keep the reader riveted.  I will read it again as I read good books over and over.
