N2  -   The aim of the study is to identify the existing knowledge and expertise which may be applied directly toward the prevention of natural disasters particularly in developing countries and to identify the gaps in current knowledge which requires concerted action by the international community.  This volume describes the various types of volcanic destruction, the ways of predicting and preventing some of them and suggests measures to return the affected land to profitable use
