Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In the last one hundred years, a number of catastrophic events
associated with rockslide dam formation and failure have occurred
in the mountain regions of the world. This book presents a global
view of the formation, characteristics and behaviour of natural and
artificial rockslide dams. Chapters include a comprehensive
state-of-the-art review of our global understanding natural and
artificial rockslide dams, overviews of approaches to rockslide dam
risk mitigation, regional studies of rockslide dams in India,
Nepal, China, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Argentina. Rockslide dams
associated with large-scale instability of volcanoes are also
examined. Detailed case histories of well-known historic and
prehistoric rockslide dams provide examples of investigations of
rockslide dam behaviour, stability, and characteristics. The
formation and behaviour of rockslide-dammed lakes ("Quake Lakes")
formed during the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, China are also
comprehensively summarised. The formation, sedimentology and
stability of rockslide dams is examined in several analytical
papers. An analysis of break-out floods from volcanogenic lakes and
hydrological methods of estimating break-out flood magnitude and
behavior are reviewed. The use of remote sensing data in
rockslide-dammed lake characterisation is explored and a new
approach to the classification of rockslide dams is introduced.
Finally, a unique section of the book summarises Russian and Kyrgyz
experience with blast-fill dam construction in two papers by
leading authorities on the technology. The volume contains 24
papers by 50 authors from 16 countries including most of the
recognised world authorities on the subject.
Following the precedent and standards set by the Baedeker guides,
travel literature enjoyed great popularity during the later
nineteenth century. This guidebook to the Alps, written by Hermann
Alexander Berlepsch (1814? 83) and translated from German by the
renowned author and mountaineer Leslie Stephen (1832 1904), was
first published in English in 1861. This was during the golden age
of alpinism, when many major peaks were ascended for the first
time. While later mountaineers concentrated on climbing as a sport,
earlier expeditions were of a more scientific nature; this
guidebook, which provides detailed information pertaining to the
geology, flora and fauna of the Alps, is a reflection of this
ambition. Also containing descriptions of village life and Alpine
customs, it enjoyed a significant readership in its day and was
also translated into French. It remains an instructive work in the
history of alpinism and travel writing.
