Sommario/riassunto

The Volcano Adventure Guide is the first book of its type. It contains vital information for anyone wishing to visit, explore, and photograph



active volcanoes safely and enjoyably. Following an introduction that discusses eruption styles of different types of volcanoes, how to prepare for a volcano trip, and how to avoid volcanic dangers, the book presents guides to visiting 42 different volcanoes around the world. This section is packed full of practical information including tour itineraries, maps, transportation details, and warnings of possible non-volcanic dangers. Three appendices at the end of the book direct the reader to a wealth of further volcano resources. Aimed at non-specialist readers who wish to explore volcanoes without being foolhardy, it will fascinate amateur enthusiasts and professional volcanologists alike. The stunning colour photographs throughout the book will delight armchair travellers as well as inspire the adventurous to get out and explore volcanoes for themselves.

Sommario/riassunto

Optimizing Radiation Therapy is designed to help maximize the effectiveness of radiation treatment while minimizing or eliminating any side effects. As you listen, learn to use the power of focused concentration, guided imagery, deep relaxation and other mind–tools to manage the reactions and responses of your body. In addition to reducing side effects, you will focus upon directing the radiation you receive towards the disease cells instead of to your healthy cells.
