Here is a comprehensive overview of the geophysical, technological,
and social aspects of natural disasters. This book systematically
reviews the agents of natural catastrophes - earthquakes,
volcanoes, floods, drought, hurricanes, erosion, fires, etc. - in
terms of their geophysical processes and effects. The human impact
and response is examined from various perspectives, including
damage and the urban environment, the logistics of planning and
emergency action, medical emergencies and the epidemiology of
disasters, the Third World, and socio-economic consequences. The
author's unique interdisciplinary perspective helps the reader to
achieve a clear perspective on natural disasters and possible
strategies against them.
