Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short and Concise Account of the Eruptive Phenomena and Geology of Monte Somma and Vesuvius in Explanation of the Geological Map of That Volcano Constructed During the Years 1880-1888 Vesuvius during many centuries has been looked upon as the type volcano, and although others have from time 'to time been ephemeral rivals, this great fire-vent of the Campanian plain still maintains its supremacy. Such can be explained as the consequence of a combination of several circumstances. In the first place, its situation, within easy access from one of the largest towns and sea ports of the Mediterranean, so that there is no part of the mountain that cannot be visited and returned from in one day's excursion from Naples; the peculiar asym metry in its shape, which, while being most striking, is very comprehensive; its beautiful lavas, pumices, fine escarp ments, and numerous and varied dykes, combined with the extraordinary, very varied, and unique series of ejected blocks and their mineral contents make it alike of pro found interest to the mineralogist as to the physical geologist. Then again, its continuous activity has enticed the chemist to investigate its emanations with as much enthusiasm as that displayed by his scientific colleagues. Mineralogists, and perhaps still more, geologists, are keen connoisseurs of beautiful scenery, and have been seduced by the charms of the locality to pay more attention eto the most important element in the beautiful land and sea-scape of the Gulf of Naples. Last, but not least, the innumerable reminiscences. Of history, and even romance, which bear engraven upon many pages the classic name of Vesuvius, which is known to almost every school boy or girl in the civilized world. Its great rival Etna, many times its size, possesses neither the bold slopes, finer precipices, or a more beautiful situation, whilst the rocks of the Sicilian volcano are monotonous in the ex treme. Still less could the solitary, little varying Strom boli, or its equally insulated sister Vulcano, aspire to the majestic and elegant proportions or enviable position of type volcano which Vesuvius is likely to continue to hold. Under such circumstances no apology is necessary for laying before the public a very detailed geological map of this unique volcano. No other geological Maps of Vesuvius have been published; the few physical maps already in existence are but of small scale, and based on defective topographical surveys, whilst their only aim has been a problematical delineation of the historic lava streams.

Book excerpt: The volcano that has fascinated scientists, writers, and poets for two millennia Capricious, vibrant, and volatile, Vesuvius has been and remains one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes. In its rage, it has destroyed whole cities and buried thousands alive. In its calm, its ashes have fertilized the soil, providing for the people who have lived in its shadows. For over two millennia, the dynamic presence of this volcano has fascinated scientists, artists, writers, and thinkers, and inspired religious fervor, Roman architecture, and Western literature. In Vesuvius, Alwyn Scarth draws from the latest research, classical and eyewitness accounts, and a diverse range of other sources to tell the riveting story of this spectacular natural phenomenon. Scarth follows Vesuvius across time, examining the volcano's destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 A.D., its eruptions during the Counter-Reformation that were viewed as God's punishment of sinners, and the building of the world's first volcano observatory on Vesuvius in the 1840s. Scarth explores the volcano's current position overlooking a population of more than three million people and the complex attitudes maintained by the residents, at once reverent, protective, and fearful. He also considers the next major eruption of Vesuvius, which experts have indicated could be the most powerful since 1631. The longer Vesuvius remains dormant, the more violent its reawakening will be, and despite scientific advances for predicting when this might occur, more people are vulnerable than ever before. Exploring this celebrated wonder from scientific, historical, and cultural perspectives, Vesuvius provides a colorful portrait of a formidable force of nature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mount Vesuvius: A Descriptive, Historical, and Geological Account of the Volcano, With a Notice of the Recent Eruption, and an Appendix, Containing Letters by Pliny the Younger, a Table of Dates of Eruptions, and a List of Vesuvian Minerals The following description of Mount Vesuvius was prepared for the Geologists' Association of London, before which body it was read; but having been strongly urged to print it, and believing that a brief general and geological account of the volcano, with a notice of the eruption of this year, has not yet appeared, I venture to give these pages to the public. The subject has been treated under four heads. In the first chapter, the geographical position of Vesuvius is described, and the various parts of the mountain indicated. In the second chapter is given the history of the volcano, with a resume of the accounts which have come down to us of the most interesting and remarkable eruptions. The third chapter has been devoted to the geological and scientific consideration of Vesuvius. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
