Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Volcano Diggings: A Tale of California Law The object of this tale has been to illustrate the blind and foolish ignorance of those who are for ever carping at the systematic workings of our judicial and legal institutions; and also to show the danger as well as the absurdity of despising forms, and trusting to extempore suggestions for a true demonstration of legal principles. The early lynch-law trials in California furnish sa vory food for reflection upon this topic; and, as the author has spent much time in that country, and has so travelled through it as to be well acquainted with its different phases of life, he has concluded that he could not choose a more expedient region for the development of his plot.

Download or read book Surviving the Volcano written by Stanley Williams and published by Time Warner Books UK. This book was released on 2002-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1993 Stanley Williams, an eminent volcanologist, was standing on top of a Colombian volcano called Galeras when it erupted, incinerating several of his colleagues instantly. As Williams tried to escape the mountain's fury, the volcano pelted him with white-hot projectiles travelling literally faster than speeding bullets. Within minutes he was cut down, his skull fractured, his right leg almost severed, his backpack aflame. Williams lay helpless and near death on Galeras' flank as volcanic bombs continued to rain down on him until two brave women - friends and fellow volcanologists - mounted an astonishing rescue effort to carry him safely off the mountain.The tale of how Williams survived Galeras becomes the framework for this fascinating book about the tiny group of scientists who risk their own lives to save others. It is also an absorbing account of volcanoes, and their physical and cultural impact: Vesuvius' famous explosion in AD 79; the Laki eruptions in Iceland in 1793; and the subsequent 'haze famine' which killed one fifth of the population; and Tamboura, which, in 1815, plunged an area of 300 miles into darkness for two days.

Book excerpt: On November 10, 1985, Nevado Del Ruiz, Colombia's highest active volcano, located on the Andes mountain range and reaching an altitude of 5321 metres, showed signs of very worrying activity. Seismographs are all saturated. Volcanologists and scientists are urgently calling for the evacuation of the town of Armero. The authorities of the time turn a deaf ear. Three days after this alert, the volcano erupted around 3 p.m., destroying everything in its path. Armero, as I trample on your ground, I see again the unbearable images relayed by all the media: people stuck in the mud of the volcano, the rescuers digging through the rubble, the city buried under ashes, the helicopters flying over this disaster, the imploring eyes of Omayra Sànchez, stuck up to her waist and slowly fading away in front of helpless people. Behind Omayra's eyes, 25000 dead or missing, 22000 of them in Armero. A huge mudslide of hot mud had buried the white city, nicknamed for its cotton plantations.
