This is the first English language book to systematically introduce
basic theories, methods and applications of disaster risk science
from the angle of different subjects including disaster science,
emergency technology and risk management. Viewed from basic
theories, disaster risk science consists of disaster system,
formation mechanism and process, covering 3 chapters in this book.
From the perspective of technical methods, disaster risk science
includes measurement and assessment of disasters, mapping and
zoning of disaster risk, covering 4 chapters in this book. From the
angle of application practices, disaster risk science contains
disaster management, emergency response and integrated disaster
risk paradigm, covering 3 chapters in the book. The book can be a
good reference for researchers, students, and practitioners in the
field of disaster risk science and natural disaster risk management
for more actively participating in and supporting the development
of "disaster risk science".
This is the first English language book that systematically
introduces the spatial and temporal patterns of major natural
disasters in China from 1949 to 2014. It also reveals natural
disaster formation mechanisms and processes, quantifies
vulnerability to these disasters, evaluates disaster risks,
summarizes the key strategies of integrated disaster risk
governance, and analyzes large-scale disaster response cases in
recent years in China. The book can be a good reference for
researchers, students, and practitioners in the field of natural
disaster risk management and risk governance for improving the
understanding of natural disasters in China.

"Integrated Risk Governance: Science Plan and Case Studies of
Large-scale Disasters" is the first book in the IHDP-Integrated
Risk Governance Project Series. It consists of two parts: Part I:
Integrated Risk Governance Project Science Plan, which outlines the
challenge, research programme, outcomes, and implementation
strategy of the IRG Project; and Part II: Case Studies of
Large-scale Disasters, which includes case analyses of experience,
lessons learned and recommendations on various large-scale
disasters around the world, such as the Tangshan and Wenchuan
earthquakes and the great ice storm in China, European heat waves,
and Hurricane Katrina in the USA. The community model of integrated
natural disaster risk governance and paradigm of catastrophe risk
governance in China are also presented. Prof. Peijun Shi works at
Beijing Normal University, China; Prof. Carlo Jaeger works at
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany; Prof.Qian
Ye works at Beijing Normal University, China.

This textbook provides a comprehensive and very detailed insight
into Chinese Contemporary Geography in English. It documents the
geographical issues associated with China's rapid growth. Since
initiating the reforms and open policy, China has achieved
tremendous success. China's rapid growth is now a driving force in
the global economy and is achieving unprecedented rates of poverty
reduction. However, China also faces a number of sustainability and
emerging challenges associated with rapid growth such as growing
regional disparities in terms of per capita income and
social-economic development, sustainable resource development, and
issues related to regional and global economic integration. In
addition, rapid economic growth has also brought about major
challenges such as resource shortages, ecological and environmental
destruction, land degradation and frequent disasters. This book
presents the authors’ reflections. This lavishly illustrated book
covers physical geography, history, and economic and political
systems of the world's most populous country. The major focus is on
geographical issues in China's contemporary development:
agriculture, population, urbanization, resource and energy, and
environment. The lead author of the book has taught relevant
courses in China for three decades, and authored and edited
multiple textbooks for Chinese students. This book will appeal to
undergraduate students of geography and related disciplines with a
regional focus on China and to the general reader who wants to
learn different geographical aspects of modern China with little
academic background in geography.
