A 'must-read' 21 Jun 2011
Format:Hardcover
Having just climbed Vesuvius and smelt the sulphurous fumes from a small vent during a holiday in Sorrento in April, I was fascinated by hearing extracts from this book read on BBC Radio 4.

The extra information given in the full book is quite fascinating. Everyone should have the chance to read this book AND climb this volcano.
