| Summary: | "This beautiful biography in verse is about two French scientists who changed what we know about volcanoes. Katia, a curious girl who collected pebbles and dreamed of escaping her small town, grew up just a few miles away from Maurice, a boy who knew more about rocks and minerals than his own teachers. . . . When Katia and Maurice met as college students, they formed The Vulcan Team--named after the Roman god of fire--to observe, investigate, and document one of the most dangerous, natural phenomena on the planet: volcanoes! . . . 'Chasing eruptions' traces the legacy of Katia and Maurice Kraffts' volcanic photographs and films--and how their footage continues to inspire and educate today"--Excerpted from publisher's description. |
