Natural Hazards & Disasters
Undergraduate college students, including nonscience
majors, should find the writing clear and stimulating. Our
emphasis is to provide them a basis for understanding
important hazard-related processes and concepts. This book
encourages students to grasp the fundamentals while still
appreciating that most issues have complexities that are
beyond the current state of scientific knowledge and involve
societal aspects beyond the realm of science. Students not
majoring in the geosciences may find motivation to continue
studies in related areas and to share these experiences with
others.
Natural hazards and disasters can be fascinating and
even exciting for those who study them. Just don’t be on the
receiving end!
