From the reviews:

"This monumental, first-of-a-kind, up-to-date book on volcano geodesy compiled by Dzurisin … fills an important gap in the rapidly expanding literature discussing the young science of Volcanology. … The outstanding list of references offers more than 400 citations; the extra material contains all the book’s figures plus an expanded version of analytical source models. … The chapter authors are eminently qualified, and their book is a marvelous contribution to the highly complex, important, and challenging profession of volcano monitoring. Summing Up: Highly recommended." (T. L. T. Grose, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), July, 2007)
