An excellent textbook on natural disasters. The main natural hazards covered in this book are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions; extremes of weather, including hurricanes; and floods, landslides, tsunami, wildfires, and asteroid impacts. For each, the book examines the nature of the hazard, and the methods of forecasting or predicting such events. The book is packed with relevant content on natural hazards, the processes that control them, and the means of avoiding catastrophes. Extensive illustrations and case-in-point examples bring reality to the discussion of principles and processes. End-of-chapter material also includes Critical View photos with paired questions, a list of Key Points, Key Terms, Questions for Review, and Critical Thinking Questions.
