If you were entraced by the bestseller a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/book... from Above/I/a, this gorgeous coffee-table book will wow you with its fantastical images of volcanoes and the people who live in their shadows. With text by noted volcanologist Jacques Durieux, the book showcases the work of Philippe Bourseiller, a five-time winner of the World Press Prize. Many of the photographs seem like abstract paintings saturated in color and form -- hot-red lava, eye-popping yellow sulfur, lush green jungle -- while others are intimate portraits -- an ash-covered woman surveying her rice field, Japanese children in hardhats at an evacution exercise, a lone scientist knee-deep in water.
