This book presents a comprehensive analysis of diverse aspects of
geohazards. The growing vulnerability and exposure to failures in
risk reduction and policy-making increases the severity of
geohazard impacts by many folds. Therefore, detailed geohazard
analysis, modelling and forecasting are needed to reduce the
impacts of extreme events.An interdisciplinary approach to hazard
mitigation provides an advanced tool for risk reduction. The book
thus summarizes recent modelling and analysis techniques for hazard
assessment and risk mitigation. Topics discussed in the book are
hazard and risk associated with earthquakes, vulnerability
assessment for landslides and avalanches, the assessment of tsunami
risk in coastal regions, the implementation of early warning
systems to prevent catastrophic consequences, climate change risk
modelling and risk communication. The convergent approach
with the aspects of natural, engineering, and social sciences
attracts a vast audience working to advance disaster science. This
book also significantly facilitates the acquisition of
policy-relevant knowledge for risk reduction, which is beneficial
to the general public.
The Handbook of Flexible and Smart Sheet Forming Techniques
presents a collection of research on state-of-art techniques
developed specifically for flexible and smart sheet forming, with a
focus on using analytical strategies and computational, simulation,
and AI approaches to develop innovative sheet forming techniques.
Bringing together various engineering perspectives, the book
emphasizes how these manufacturing techniques intersect with
Industry 4.0 technologies for applications in the mechanical,
automobile, industrial, aerospace, and medical industries. The
first section of the book introduces the concepts, classifications,
variants, process cycles, and materials for flexible and smart
sheet forming techniques and compares them with other conventional
sheet forming processes. Subsequent sections delve deeper into
topics such as: hardware and software required for these
techniques; parameters, responses, and optimization strategies; the
mechanics of flexible and smart sheet forming; simulation
approaches; applications; and future innovations and directions.
Each chapter will feature research outcomes, illustrations, case
studies, and examples useful to anyone who needs to better
understand and utilize these new manufacturing technologies.

This unique introduction to the essentials of global health has
been constructed by medical students from all over the world
through the help of Medsin (now Students for Global Health) and the
International Federation of Medical Students' Association (IFMSA).
The global student and trainee author team, recruited and guided
initially by Drs Dan and Felicity Knights (themselves students and
officers of Medsin when work commenced), identified the key areas
to be covered. Then the book they put together was edited by two
experts in the field: Mr B Sethia and Professor Parveen Kumar.
