Eruptions That Shook the WorldWhat does it take for a volcanic eruption to really shake the world? Did volcanic eruptions extinguish the dinosaurs, or help humans to evolve, only to decimate their populations with a super eruption 73,000 years ago? Did they contribute to the ebb and flow of ancient empires, the French Revolution and the rise of fascism in Europe in the 19th century? These are some of the claims made for volcanic cataclysm. Volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer explores

What does it take for a volcanic eruption to really shake the world? Did volcanic eruptions extinguish the dinosaurs, or help humans to evolve, only to decimate their populations with a super-eruption 73,000 years ago? Did they contribute to the ebb and flow of ancient empires, the French Revolution and the rise of fascism in Europe in the 19th century? These are some of the claims made for volcanic cataclysm. Volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer explores rich geological, historical, archaeological and palaeoenvironmental records (such as ice cores and tree rings) to tell the stories behind some of the greatest volcanic events of the past quarter of a billion years. He shows how a forensic approach to volcanology reveals the richness and complexity behind cause and effect, and argues that important lessons for future catastrophe risk management can be drawn from understanding events that took place even at the dawn of human origins.

Cute but not the sturdiest
Color: White
It hold everything well and looks really nice on my dresser. I like that the variations in the leaves allows for me to hang things of varying size up in a way that’s cute and accessible when I want to wear it. I like having all my jewelry visible at a glance. The base is a really light weight wood and so you can’t screw the top super tightly just because the wood wouldn’t hold up to that very well. That means that the tree may lean or spin a bit if you’re grabbing your earring and it’s base from one of the leaves. There’s no fear of breakage, but just not the ideal experience. So it’s not the sturdiest. It doesn’t really need to be to do what it does, but that’s the one thing I wish could be improved about this display.

I love this!!
I struggled to put it together - I had to use pliers and REALLY PRY to get the nut off in order to screw it to the base. But once I did, I am super happy with this. It's pretty and has a lot of room for all my earrings. I also put necklaces and bracelets in the base. The downside other than how hard it was to put together is how wobbly the tree part is, but I think if I tightened the screw, it would be fine.

Awesome jewelry tree
Color: Black
The design is attractive and the holes for earrings are placed perfectly. I also have several necklaces hanging on the branches. The tray underneath the tree is perfect for bracelets and watches.I feel this is a unique design. I did attach washers above and below the tray on the screw to secure the tree better- love it!!!

Buy it
Color: Black, Color: Black
This was super easy to assemble, I didn’t even need any tools. It had plenty of room for my 46 current pairs of earrings, plus room for 18 more. It feels sturdy and isn’t outrageously over sized so it fit perfectly on top of my old jewelry box. The tray at the bottom is great too because now I can keep my rings and ear cuffs on display rather than try and stuff them on top of each other in the jewelry box.
