Neil Mathison reads from his new book Volcano: an A to Z and Other Essays about Geology, Geography, and Geo-Travel in the American West.
Neil Mathison’s writing explores the many ways in which the physical world influences our lives. He muses on heritage, boats, and the sea; ponders how living in the shadow of a volcano shapes a person; and ties the physical world to deeper themes of human life, such as relationships and personal tragedies.
