Significant, and usually unwelcome, surprises, such as floods,
financial crisis, epileptic seizures, or material rupture, are the
topics of Extreme Events in Nature and Society. The book, authored
by foremost experts in these fields, reveals unifying and
distinguishing features of extreme events, including problems of
understanding and modelling their origin, spatial and temporal
extension, and potential impact. The chapters converge towards the
difficult problem of anticipation: forecasting the event and
proposing measures to moderate or prevent it. Extreme Events in
Nature and Society will interest not only specialists, but also the
general reader eager to learn how the multifaceted field of extreme
events can be viewed as a coherent whole.
