Synopsis: An impressive collection of 62 technical papers recounting the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and its aftermath. The contributors reflect the international cooperation exhibited during the eruption (ten times larger than Mount St. Helens) and explore the precursors, processes, and products of the eruption, as well as record setting erosion and lahars (volcanic mudflows), evacuation efforts, global climate effects, and the socioeconomic impact of the eruption on the surrounding community. Includes color photographs (before and after views) and illustrations. The accompanying disk contains two programs, PINAPLOT (for DOS) and VOLQUAKE (for Windows), both showing the evolving seismicity before and after the 1991 eruptions. Lacks an index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
