World-renowned volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer has worked at the crater's edge in the wildest places on Earth. He's faced down AK47s, learned from tribal elders, and watched red hot rocks shoot into the sky. More people have been into space than have set eyes on the fiery depths of Mount Erebus in Antarctica, where he has measured the Earth's powerful forces. In Mountains of Fire, he paints volcanoes as otherworldly, magical places where our history is laid bare, and shows us just how entangled volcanic activity is with our climate, economy, politics, culture and beliefs.

Sans qu'on le sache, se joue depuis des millénaires dans notre cerveau une terrible bataille. D'un côté il y a le striatum, petite structure nerveuse qui génère du plaisir. De l'autre il y a le cortex préfrontal, organe destiné à contrôler nos pulsions.

Faszinierende Farben der Vegetation, endlose Weiten der Wüste, nächtliches Tierleben im Urwald: Viele Jahre lang reiste Humboldt durch den amerikanischen Kontinent, beobachtete, untersuchte und skizzierte.
