- catalog abstract ""Fire in the Sea blends the thrill of scientific discovery with a popular presentation of the geology, archaeology, history, peoples, and environmental setting of Santorini. Walter Friedrich has worked for many years on the Minoan eruption of the island. He discusses the latest scientific results and combines natural history and archaeology to provide a comprehensive overview of the volcanic island and its past. He discusses Plato's legend of Atlantis, and other myths that are often associated with Santorini.
