Written by a son-father team of prominent geologists, David and Donald Hyndman, 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. "Case in Point" boxes generate discussion of individual cases to natural hazard processes and principles. The authors reinforce the need to become informed citizens and make educated living decisions. Students will find a balanced coverage of North American natural hazards, including earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, and volcanic eruptions. These hazards are illustrated using numerous four-color photos and diagrams.

An excellent textbook on natural disasters.

For each, the book examines the nature of the hazard, and the methods of forecasting or predicting such events. The book is packed with relevant content on natural hazards, the processes that control them, and the means of avoiding catastrophes. Extensive illustrations and case-in-point examples bring reality to the discussion of principles and processes. End-of-chapter material also includes Critical View photos with paired questions, a list of Key Points, Key Terms, Questions for Review, and Critical Thinking Questions. Chapters include: Natural Hazards and Disasters; Plate Tectonics and Physical Hazards; Earthquakes and Their Causes; Earthquake Predictions, Forecasts, and Mitigation; Tsunami; Volcanoes: Tectonic Environments and Eruptions; Volcanoes: Hazards and Mitigation; Landslides and Other Downslope Movements; SInkholes, Land Subsidence, and Swelling Soils; Weather, Thunderstorms, and Tornadoes; Climate Change; Streams and Flood Processes; Floods and Human Interactions; Waves, Beaches, and Coastal Erosion; Hurricanes and Nor-easters; Wildfires; and Asteroids and Comet Impacts.

Military and civilian organizations in the past have attempted to understand culture and the cultural environment of conflict zones through anthropology. While there is a small and growing number of studies examining the use of anthropology for counterinsurgency, no studies have compared the Anglo-Saxon ABCA Armies' approaches to understanding cultural factors for counterinsurgency and civil military–operations. 
 Crisis of Cultural Intelligence: The Anthropology of civil military–Operations thus represents a timely investigation into a number of issues regarding the past and present relationship between militarized anthropology, settler colonialism, and Indigenous militancy and the Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which has internationalized the claim of encapsulated nations for equal rights. Covering issues such as the use of militarized anthropology in the Vietnam War and the controversial Human Terrain System (HTS) program used in Afghanistan, this book addresses the need for constructive and informed discussions about the nature and function of cultural data collection and analysis for counterinsurgency, peace-building, and conflict prevention operations. 
 Crisis of Cultural Intelligence: The Anthropology of civil–military Operations is particularly important today, as cultural values and heritage continue to inform civil–military interventions of intrastate armed conflict amongst the people. Following the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, this book will provide some insights into how militaries will now need to look ahead and consider the types of conflicts they may become involved in.
