Oxford professor Tamsin Mather takes readers on an exhilarating journey into the world of volcanoes, drawing on her years of fieldwork studying these magnificent geological forces. From the sulphurous slopes of Nicaragua to the lava lakes of Ethiopia, she reveals what happens when our planet quite literally opens up beneath our feet.

Blending cutting-edge science with vivid personal experience, this is both a masterclass in how volcanoes shape our world and a thrilling account of what it's like to work at the edge of an erupting crater. Mather explores how these powerful phenomena influence everything from our climate and ecosystems to human history and culture, making a compelling case for why understanding volcanoes matters now more than ever.
