The Encyclopedia of Volcanoes
Volcanoes are unquestionably one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring features of the physical world. Our paradoxical fascination with them stems from their majestic beauty and powerful, sometimes deadly, destructiveness. Notwithstanding the tremendous advances in volcanology since ancient times, some of the mystery surrounding volcanic eruptions remains today. The Encyclopedia of Volcanoes summarizes our present knowledge of volcanoes; it provides a comprehensive source of information on the causes of volcanic eruptions and both the destructive and beneficial effects. The early chapters focus on the science of volcanism (melting of source rocks, ascent of magma, eruption processes, ext...
The Memoirs of Orley Clifton Houghton
This biography contains the memoirs of 19th Century inventor and engineer Orley Clifton Houghton (1877-1965). His memoirs were hand-written and meant to be a brief history of the heritage of the Houghton family in Wisconsin, as well as an overview of Orley’s early work as an inventor, in designing and producing mechanized farm equipment. It discusses the hardships of 19th century life on a farm in Wisconsin and his career as an engineer. As one of Orley’s Grandsons, I believe this document should be preserved and shared with future generations. It is a fascinating and insightful window into 19th Century life.
Houghton Ancestors
"This nonfiction book documents 1,000 years of exciting English and American history from the perspective of one family--the Houghtons. From the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 AD, when our earliest ancestors first fought for William the Conquerer, to the 21st Century in America, this has been an epic adventure." "I have included a new chapter at the end of the book captioned '21st Century DNA Testing.' It provides, for the first time in print, fascinating information on the origins and lives of stone Age ancestors of the Houghton Family that lived in Europe over 300,000 years ago!" --from back cover.
Eruption!
Events during the eruptions of Mt Ruapehu in 1995-96 are presented in text and colour photographs. Two of the authors are members of the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences team which monitors the volcano; Vince Neall leads a team from Massey University studying lahars and the effects of ash fall.

Volcanic Eruptions and Their Repose, Unrest, Precursors, and Timing
Volcanic eruptions are common, with more than 50 volcanic eruptions in the United States alone in the past 31 years. These eruptions can have devastating economic and social consequences, even at great distances from the volcano. Fortunately many eruptions are preceded by unrest that can be detected using ground, airborne, and spaceborne instruments. Data from these instruments, combined with basic understanding of how volcanoes work, form the basis for forecasting eruptionsâ€"where, when, how big, how long, and the consequences. Accurate forecasts of the likelihood and magnitude of an eruption in a specified timeframe are rooted in a scientific understanding of the processes that govern the storage, ascent, and eruption of magma. Yet our understanding of volcanic systems is incomplete and biased by the limited number of volcanoes and eruption styles observed with advanced instrumentation. Volcanic Eruptions and Their Repose, Unrest, Precursors, and Timing identifies key science questions, research and observation priorities, and approaches for building a volcano science community capable of tackling them. This report presents goals for making major advances in volcano science.
