Environmental Hazards: Assessing Risk and Reducing Disasters, 5th Edition

摘要

Now in its fifth edition, this frequently expanded and updated text continues to provide University students with a robust and multidisciplinary introduction to key themes and issues in the field of environmental hazards. Authors Keith Smith (Emeritus Professor of Environmental Science, University of Stirling, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh) and Dave Petley (Wilson Professor of Hazard and Risk in the Department of Geography, and Deputy Dean, in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Health at Durham University) have carefully crafted and re-crafted this text over a 20 year period to 'provide an up-to-date and balanced overview of the field drawing on multi-disciplinary sources' (p. xxi).
