Till now we have not seen any books in the area of Geology, so this one is for all the people who are interested in volcanoes. In Science for Everyone series now we come to The Progeny of Volcanoes by P. N. Erofeev.

This is what the back cover of the book says:

Before setting out to acquaint the reader with the mysteries of the World Ocean, the author had himself explored the vast areas of the oceans covering the surface of our planet and had also done a great amount of researchin the fascinating domain of oceanological. studies. Fully aware of the fact that not all of his future readers would be competent enough to make their way through the complicated language used by the scientists in interpreting the data of their analysis,the author made every possible effort to facilitate his narrative without trespassing on the essence and scientific value
of the research that has been undertaken. This book provides the reader with a host of facts about the World Ocean that are not merely informative, but are also bound to create an integral picture in the reader’s mind and thus widen the scope of his or her scientific,
historical, and cultural background.

The book was translated from the Russian by G. G. Egorov and was first published by Mir in 1989.
