Synopsis
Scientist Dr. Charles Pellegrino, who has written about everything from cloning dinosaurs to his discoveries on the wreck of the Titanic, devotes this book to the technologically advanced societies of the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and the event which buried them both in volcanic ash: the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. 79. He also draws parallels between that eruption and other natural and unnatural catastrophes, including the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, the bombing of Hiroshima, and the destruction of the World Trade Center.

Publisher's Note
An examination of the disasters at Pompeii and Herculaneum by the author of Her Name, Titanic draws on a wealth of new information about life in AD 79, discussing what forensic archaeology and new findings in volcano physics reveal about modern events, including the "collapse column" at the World Trade Center.
