Great tool for teaching about Earthquakes and Volcanoes!

This is a great book for anyone interested in earthquakes and/or volcanoes. The book is divided into three parts: the Dynamic Earth (dealing with the inner earth); Earthquakes; and Volcanoes. I liked the vivid illustrations and photos. As a geophysicist by training, I found the "hands on" experiments quite easy to follow and a great way to teach science to children. A great find!
