	Mount Aetna And The Sicilian Horrors
		While the poets on the one hand had invested AEtna with various supernatural attributes, and had made it the prison of a chained giant, and the workshop of a god, Lucretius and others endeavored to show that the eruptions and other phenomena of the mountain could be explained by the ordinary operations of nature.
		Soon after a torrent of lava poured from the crater, and red-hot masses of rock were projected into the air.
		In 1759, 1763, 1766, and 1780, eruptions were noted, and on May 18, 1780, a fissure opened on the southwest side of the mountain and extended from the base of the great crater for seven miles, terminating in a new mouth from which a stream of lava eminated.

	Geomorphology: Chapter 10 Plate P-5
		If the Caloris Basin is an immense impact crater, the impact should have generated a series of strong surface waves spreading concentrically from the crater.
		The most general one, well-shown on the distant view (Figure P-5.1), is the high proportion of terrain not obviously cratered (with large craters); this area has been called the "intercrater plains." The intercrater plains correspond roughly, in relative age, to the lunar highlands, but their precise age cannot be pinned down.
		They constitute a type of terrain that cannot really be matched with the lunar highlands, which are saturated with large craters as shown in a Lunar Orbiter view (Figure P-5.3) of the Moon´s far side centered on Tsiolkovsky.

		Mimicking the theatrics of American intellectuals — Roy’s hands frequently gestured scare quotes — she went from one smug denunciation to another to the applause of her crowd.
		Little was said about the crater a few blocks away, the social pathologies back home in India that send tens of thousands of its brightest to American shores, or Roy’s own aristocratic dress, ample jewelry, and studied accent.
		All the latter accoutrements and affectations illustrated the well-known game she plays of trashing globalization and corporatization as she jets around the Western world precisely through its largess — all the while cashing in by serving up an elegant third-world victimization to guilt-ridden Westerners.

		In recognition of these facts, Lazzarelli was given a central role in the first scholarly collection of Renaissance Hermetic texts, published by Eugenio Garin and others in 1955.
