This study was conducted in a joint project on physical volcanology between Gadjah Mada University Yogyakarta, Indonesia and the Institute of Geophysics, University of Stuttgart, Federal Republic of Germany.
Buku ini berangkat dari semacam kekhawatian terhadap bencana yang telah menimpa saudara-saudara kami.
