Hawaiian Volcanoes

Clarence E. Dutton

0/5 ( ratings)

Hawaiian Volcanoes, written by Clarence Edward Dutton as part of the 1883 Annual Report of the U.S. Geological Survey, is the first comprehensive study of volcanism in Hawai'i. In addition to being of both scientific and historical interest today, it is a fine example of natural history writing. It takes the form of an entrancing nineteenth-century "roadside geology" of the Big Island and much of Maui, combining Dutton's clear, elegant writing style with his eye for color and line and meticulously accurate observations of Hawai'i's people and landscape, as well as its geological phenomena. A new foreword discusses the importance of Dutton's ground-breaking report and its influence on subsequent research on Hawai'i's volcanoes. The present volume also includes a colorful biographical sketch of Dutton, a discussion of his assignment to Hawai'i, and a list of his principal writings.
