Active Volcanoes of Chiapas (Mexico): El Chichón and Tacaná

"The book provides an interesting and complete narrative of El Chichon and Tacana ... . This book is a prime and necessary reference that allows the reader to explore the characteristic features of those active Mexican volcanoes and to compare their natures with those of other volcanoes. ... It will also be very useful in providing information that can be used to improve the operational plan in charge of the civil protection authorities." (Gerardo Carrasco-Nunez, Bulletin of Volcanology, Vol. 77, 2015)
