Eruption! (Elizabeth Rusch)

Summary: "At 11:35 pm, as Radio Armero played cheerful music, a towering wave of mud and rocks bulldozed through the village, roaring like a squadron of fighter jets."  Twenty-three thousand people died in the 1985 eruption of Colombia's Nevado del Ruiz.  Today, more than one billion people worldwide live in volcanic danger zones.  Rusch reveals the perilous, adrenaline-fueled, life-saving work of an international volcano crisis team (VDAP) and the sleeping giants they study, from Colombia to the Philippines, from Chile to Indonesia.  (from amazon.com)
