Natural Hazards and Disasters
Cengage Learning's Natural Hazards and Disasters brings course concepts to life with interactive learning, study, and exam preparation tools along with market leading text content for introductory earth science courses. Adopt the resources that enable your students to purchase the right solution to meet their needs, whether it's a traditional printed text, all digital learning platform, or package that includes the best of both worlds. With the recently updated Natural Hazards and Disasters and CourseMate's interactive teaching and learning tools, it's never been easier to help students understand the underlying geological processes, explore the impact these processes have on humans and vice versa, and analyze strategies for mitigating these hazards' physical and financial harm.
Natural Hazards and Disasters
Succeed in your course with Hyndman/Hyndman's NATURAL HAZARDS AND DISASTERS, 6e. The authors provide easy-to-understand coverage of the geological processes that underlie disasters, explore the impacts these processes and humans have on each other and analyze strategies to mitigate physical and financial harm. From timely information on recent natural disasters in the US and around the world, this fascinating book provides the up-to-date information needed to analyze potential hazards and take necessary steps to survive a natural disaster.
Floods and Human Interactions
Make informed life decisions with FLOODS AND HUMAN INTERACTIONS! Designed to teach you about the dynamic Earth processes that affect your life, this text provides you with an introduction to the causes and effects of floods so that you can make educated choices about major life decisions such as where to live or where to build a house. Coverage includes case studies and examples from areas such as Sacramento, New Orleans, the Yellow River, Teton Dam, and Florence.
Natural Hazards and Disasters
Emphasizes earth and atmospheric hazards that appear suddenly or rapidly, without significant warning. The text further discusses ways to prevent or mitigate the damage caused by natural hazards, providing students with the latest scientific research related to these topics. These hazards are illustrated using numerous four-color photos and diagrams.
Thunderstorms and Tornadoes
Make informed life decisions with THUNDERSTORMS AND TORNADOES! Designed to teach you about the dynamic Earth processes that affect your life, this text provides you with an introduction to the causes and effects of thunderstorms and tornadoes so that you can make educated choices about major life decisions such as where to live or where to build a house. Coverage includes case studies and examples such as the Bossier City Tornado, Super Outbreak of 1974, and the Jarrell Tornado.
Ancestral Rainforests and the Mountain of Gold
The ancestral rain forests for the Wopkaimin people have long been a sacred geography, a place that has allowed them to act out the obligations of the male cult system and social relations of production based on kinship. Based on fieldwork spanning more than a decade, David Hyndmans book traces the extraordinary socioecological transformation of a traditional society confronting modern technological risk.
Tsunami

Designed to teach you about the dynamic Earth processes that affect your life, this text provides you with an introduction to the causes and effects of tsunamis so that you can make educated choices about major life decisions such as where to live or where to build a house. Coverage includes case studies and examples such as the Sumatra Tsunami of 2004, Anchorage, AK, the Chile Tsunami, Lituya Bay, and Hokkaida, Japan.
Subsurface Hydrology
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 171. Groundwater is a critical resource and the PrinciPal source of drinking water for over 1.5 billion people. In 2001, the National Research Council cited as a "grand challenge" our need to understand the processes that control water movement in the subsurface. This volume faces that challenge in terms of data integration between complex, multi-scale hydrologie processes, and their links to other physical, chemical, and biological processes at multiple scales. Subsurface Hydrology: Data Integration for Properties and Processes presents the current state of the science in four aspects: Approaches to hydrologie data integration Data integration for characterization of hydrologie properties Data integration for understanding hydrologie processes Meta-analysis of current interpretations Scientists and researchers in the field, the laboratory, and the classroom will find this work an important resource in advancing our understanding of subsurface water movement.
Natural Hazards and Disasters, 2005 Hurricane Edition
Natural disasters are a terrible reality of our world. But with the latest scientific research you can at least be better prepared. NATURAL HAZARDS AND DISASTERS, 2005 HURRICANE EDITION walks you through the major earth and atmospheric hazards that can appear suddenly, helping you be informed and make smart choices. And, with loads of illustrations, diagrams, and photos, this disasters textbook has all the resources to master the material and succeed in the course.
