BY HEINZ VON FOERSTER s a matter of fact, the Heinz von Foer ster who writes these lines and whom one can see or hear among family ther apists on one occasion or another is an invention of Paul Watzlawick. I met my inventor for the first time more than ten years ago in Cali fornia. My services to the University of Illinois, after about 30 years, had come to an end, and I was looking for a place where my wife and I could retire and spend the rest of our lives procul negotiis. Paul Watzlawick first introduced himself over the telephone in an Austrian dialect similar to mine, telling me about...

Volcanoes and eruptions are dramatic surface man- telemetry and processing, and volcano-deformation ifestations of dynamic processes within the Earth, source models over the past three decades. There has mostly but not exclusively localized along the been a virtual explosion of volcano-geodesy studies boundaries of Earth's relentlessly shifting tectonic and in the modeling and interpretation of ground- plates. Anyone who has witnessed volcanic activity deformation data. Nonetheless, other than selective, has to be impressed by the variety and complexity of brief summaries in journal articles...

This is the first book dedicated to a better understanding of different styles of volcanism along a single volcanic arc. For each of the Aleutian volcanoes, a deformation model and the inferred magma plumbing system as well as relevant geophysical, geological and geochemical informatioan will be synthesized to provide insights into the volcanic system and its relation to nearby systems. For each Aleutian volcano, at least one high-resolution radar intensity image with unprecedented radiometric accuracy is presented to facilitate feature indentification and geomorphic studies. These images are...
