Title: When the Earth Roared: The 2021 Eruption of La Palma Author: Vivek Sharma In September 2021, the quiet beauty of La Palma was shattered when the Cumbre Vieja volcano awakened after half a century of slumber. When the Earth Roared captures the extraordinary story of that eruption-from the first seismic whispers beneath the soil to the final cooling of lava on the island's scarred landscape. Blending scientific insight with intimate human experiences, this book offers a front-row view of the disaster through the eyes of residents, scientists, rescue workers, and volunteers. With deeply researched chapters, real survival accounts, stunning imagery, and a thoughtful exploration of ecological and emotional recovery, it is both a factual chronicle and a powerful tribute to human resilience. Ideal for readers passionate about earth science, climate resilience, disaster preparedness, or human-interest storytelling, this book is more than a report-it's a voice from the lava fields, calling us to learn, to rebuild, and to prepare.
