I'd never heard of KLIATT, but the following appears in the January 2006 issue, page 36, regarding "Geysers: What They Are and How They Work".</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>"A beauty of a geology text, Bryan's work vibrates with color and action. For the curious young reader, the work is organized around predictable questions about what causes a geyser, why it erupts, how old it is, what dangers it poses, and where geysers are active around the globe. Meticulous, highly readable coverage explains the difference between hot springs and geysers and details the types of biota that survive in superheated water and give it color. Sketches of earth strata illustrate how superheated water and steam penetrate pores in volcanic rock and bubble up through sedimentary rock and the earth's crust. Back matter coveres the number of active and extinct geysers in each country, a description of shapes and eruptions, and includes a map pinpointing locations. a two-page glossary explains cone shapes, the creation of magma, the smell of hydrogen sulfide, and the source of mud pots and pull-apart zones. Indexing and the bibliography offer guidance to the researcher seeking more detailed studies. Overall, a wonder of a reference work at a small price."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> <DIV>An asterisk next to the bibliographic citation indicates an "exceptional book."</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thank you for your time.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Scott Bryan</DIV> <DIV>(Aged author)</DIV></DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
