From the jacket flap

Every year, 3 million visitors tour Yellowstone, America's favorite national park. Yet most are unaware they are standing atop one the world's most destructive volcanoes.
It's active and could explode in another colossal eruption!
In field research and interviews with geologists and a paleontologist, journalist Greg Breining uncovers the true story of the Yellowstone super volcano. It is capable of expelling more than 200 cubic miles of magma in a single blow. Breining looks at how geologists pieced together the puzzle of the Yellowstone super volcano, the devastation it has wrought, the natural wonders it has created, where it stands in relation to other prehistoric super eruptions, how it compares to famous deadly eruptions throughout history--and, finally, what will happen in the next big blast.
