Produktbeschreibung
A spark of curiosity, a careful eye, and a city waiting to be understood. The Eruption Of Vesuvius In 1872 presents Luigi Palmieri's meticulous observations with a modern clarity that invites both wonder and study. This volume offers a concise, vivid snapshot of nineteenth century italy through a prestigious volcanology lens: a scientific eruption report that stands as a historic eruption account, enriched by volcanic activity observations and geophysical measurement notes. It reads as a field study and a narrative, showing how a moment of natural force can illuminate a landscape, a society, and the science that binds them. For readers who seek a serious researcher reference material or a student study resource, the work provides foundational material formatted as a humane, accessible chronicle rather than dry data. Its literary and historical significance resonates beyond academia. Palmieri's careful chronicle contributes to neapolitan volcanic literature and the broader comparative volcanology texts that shaped early scientific discourse about Vesuvius and the region's cultural memory. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it will appeal to casual readers drawn by a vivid historical narrative and to classic-literature collectors seeking a precise, evocative window into nineteenth century italy and its volcanic history.
Autorenporträt
Luigi Palmieri (1807-1896) was an illustrious Italian physicist and meteorologist renowned for his groundbreaking work in seismology and vulcanology. Born in Faicchio, a rural commune in the south of Italy, Palmieri exhibited an early fascination with the natural sciences that ultimately defined his academic and professional pursuits. Best remembered for his tenure as the Director of the Vesuvius Observatory, he meticulously chronicled the volcanic activity of Mt. Vesuvius, leading to profound insights that significantly enriched the scientific community's understanding of volcanic phenomena. His seminal work, 'The Eruption of Vesuvius in 1872,' offers an exhaustive eyewitness account of the dramatic event, capturing not only the physical manifestations of the eruption but also its environmental and societal impacts. Palmieri's literary style in this particular book reflects the empirical approach of a seasoned scientist; it is rich in detailed observations, methodically charting the phases of the eruption with precision and clarity. Beyond his narrative prowess, Palmieri's contributions to the development of the seismograph and his dedication to educating the public about volcanic hazards underscore his legacy as a pivotal figure in the annals of science. Across the expanse of his career, Luigi Palmieri embodied the intersection of careful observation and passionate inquiry, his works continuing to serve as invaluable resources for researchers delving into the behaviors of active volcanoes.
