Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book is that is full of practical information, and that it goes wider than just the description and explanation of various earth science events. ... The book's style, content and price mean that its market will be mainly in academic and governmental organizations. ... is of interest to the engineer and the agronomist, but there is much for the historian and the social geographer. There is plenty in this for policymakers and social and civil defence people." (John Goodier, Reference Reviews, Vol. 28 (2), 2014)
