Inhaltsangabe:

This text focuses on an area of study which has become increasingly popular. It begins by defining and classifying natural hazards and then goes on to a detailed analysis of climatic, geological and geomorphic hazards. Physical processes and natural systems, social, economic and demographic impacts, human responses and strategies for prediction, prevention and management are covered, with people-environment relations highlighted throughout the text. Case studies at local, regional, national and international scales are provided, each based on pertinent material. Questions are integrated into the text and an enquiry-based approach is taken to challenge the reader.
