Environmental Hazards: Assessing Risk and Reducing Disaster

The author has made a comprehensive survey of what he calls systemic disaster risks and in doing so has accomplished a task that is essential to the field of Disaster Risk Reduction and this work is a pre-constructed foundation upon which any Disaster Risk Reduction initiative may be built.The book covers all known systemic risks and is an effective ramp leading to the position from which it becomes possible to expand our perceptual horizons to include non linear and apparently chaotic climate responses that may involve abrupt changes in the oceans Meridional Overturning Circulation and rising acidification of the oceans that can now be dimly discerned upon the horizon.

Book was in excellent condition, it was listed as “used good” but upon arrival (early might I add) the book looked like it was never opened! Picture is from after I carried it around daily and read 2 chapters.

I was expecting this book to be better. Even though this is an updated version, it doesn't seem to have the most up-to-date information.
