“Volcanic Lakes, the first book on lakes in volcanicdomains, consists of a set of 24 chapters written by pioneers and otherresearchers who have published extensive works on volcanic lakes in recentyears. … the book is worthwhile resource that I strongly recommend researchersand mainly students pursuing a career focused on limnology, microbiology,volcanic monitoring, and volcanic hazards, but also volcanologists dealing withmonogenetic volcanoes and hazard prevention to read.” (Boris Chako Tchamabé, Bulletinof Volcanology, Vol. 77 (82), 2015)
