During an era characterised by groundbreaking scientific endeavour and violent revolution, Vesuvius became a focal point of strong emotions and political aspirations. It became an object of geological enquiry and a powerful symbol of the Romantic obsession with nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Brewer charts the changing seismic and social dynamics of the mountain, and the meanings travellers attached to their sublime confrontation with nature. The pyrotechnics of revolution and global warfare made volcanic activity the perfect political metaphor, fuelling revolutionary enthusiasm and conservative trepidation. From Swiss mercenaries to English entrepreneurs, French geologists to local Neapolitan guides, German painters to Scottish doctors, Vesuvius bubbled and seethed not just with lava, but with people whose passions, interests, and aims were as diverse as their origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000838373612,"sku":"9780300272666","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/642d3c64e3cc91699083e770388b67b5.jpg?v=1763323043"},{"product_id":"the-runners-bucket-list-by-john-brewer-9781922351180","title":"The Runner's Bucket List","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaking readers on an exciting journey around the world, \u003ci\u003eThe Bucket List: Run\u003c\/i\u003e contains 1,000 entries detailing the world's best races, routes, and locations to run, alongside impressive full-colour photography and race stats.
