    Awesome cover. Spectacular and striking.

    Mount Pelee I presume circa 1902? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pel%C3%A9e )

    Wonder who the “prophet” referred to in the title was? Can’t seem to find much on the author or this book with my google-fu largely failing me. (This aside : https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=808912371&searchurl=an%3Dwhitaker%2Blydia%26sortby%3D17&cm_sp=snippet-_-srp1-_-title3 which isn’t overly informative.)

    That is a lot of lava in the ocean there tho’.. almost say a (crescent even!) lunar sea of it!

    For students pursuing studies in the IT field, programming is a crucial skill to master, and Java has gained significant popularity among programmers due to its concise syntax and powerful functionality. Nowadays, there is an increasing number of students taking Java courses. However, becoming proficient in Java is not an easy task. It requires students to possess strong logical thinking, grasp more complex coding structures compared to Python ghostwriting http://www.pnstudy.com/ , and learn concepts such as conditional statements, loops, branches, arrays, methods, and more.
