Presenting a complete introduction to enviromental hazards, this 2nd Edition has been expanded and enhanced with important new case studies, illustrations, statistical data and new material on mass movements and Third World vulnerability. Taking account of the most recent conceptual advances and insights from both earth and social sciences, this book offers an important contribution in the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.
