USGS geologist Wendell Duffield was assigned to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory 1969-72. Here he gives a little history of the HVO, some of his personal stories, and very accessible vulcanology. He shows how studying the extremely active Kīlauea has helped scientists better understand other volcanoes. Fascinating and fun book!
