Natural Disasters

Product Description A vibrant introduction to the science and societal impacts of disasters. As our planet changes and human population grows, students will see new examples every year of the devastating impact that geologic and atmospheric disasters have on communities. Through vibrant and detailed visuals, engaging writing, and extended case studies, Natural Disasters helps explain the science behind these catastrophes and the societal factors that shape our responses. Step-by-step art makes key concepts accessible to all students. And two case studies in every chapter―covering one North American and one global example and reinforced through online Guided Learning Explorations―get students examining the societal factors that help shape how communities deal with these disasters. Book Description with Ebook + GLEs + Student Site + Videos and Animations About the Author Stephen Marshak is a Professor Emeritus of Geology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he taught for 35 years. During this time, he also served as Head of the Department of Geology and as Director of the School of Earth, Society, & Environment. Steve holds an A.B. from Cornell University, an M.S. from the University of Arizona, and a Ph.D. from Columbia University, all in geology. His research interests in structural geology and tectonics have taken him in the field on several continents. Steve, a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, has won the highest teaching awards at both the college and campus levels at the University of Illinois, and has also received a Neil Miner Award from the National Association of Geoscience Teachers for “exceptional contributions to the stimulation of interest in the Earth Sciences.” His other books include Essentials of Geology, Earth Science, Natural Disasters, Laboratory Manual for Introductory Geology, Laboratory Manual for Earth Science, Earth Structure: An Introduction to Structural Geology and Tectonics, and Basic Methods of Structural Geology.Robert Rauber is a Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where he was Department Head for twelve years, and now serves as Director of the School of Earth, Society, & Environment. He holds a B.S. in Physics and a B.A. in English from the Pennsylvania State University, as well as an M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences from Colorado State University. He oversees a research program that focuses on the development and behavior of storms, which takes him on some rather exciting flights into the midst of severe weather. Bob has won campus teaching awards, is a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS), and serves as the publication commissioner for the AMS. In addition to authoring many research papers, Bob has co-authored Earth Science, Laboratory Manual for Earth Science, Severe and Hazardous Weather: An Introduction to High Impact Meteorology, and a new book, Radar Meteorology, A First Course.Neil Johnson is a Senior Instructor and Minerals Curator at Virginia Tech University. He holds a B.S. from the Ohio State University, as well as an M.S. and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech University. He regularly teaches the introductory course on Earth’s Natural Hazards, and his research focuses on mineral characterization, ore geology, and economic geology, utilizing x-ray powder refraction.

New 5th Edition Now Available!
The number of billion-dollar disasters attributable to weather and climate is unprecedented. Climate scientists have concluded that there is a detectable influence of climate change on the occurrence and severity of extreme weather events such as heat waves, cold waves, heavy precipitation, and drought.
Students of severe weather in this new century are in a unique position to apply what they have learned immediately to weather events occurring near home, across the country, or around the world.
Severe &amp; Hazardous Weather: An Introduction to High Impact Meteorology provides current, relevant, and scientifically accurate discussions of all types of hazardous weather. The NEW 5th edition of Severe &amp; Hazardous Weather has been updated to reflect new scientific findings as well as recent major weather events, including floods, drought, and heat waves. The discussion of the Coriolis force has undergone a thorough revision to provide a clearer yet rigorous explanation of one of the more challenging concepts in meteorology.
Severe &amp; Hazardous Weather:
<ul>
<li>includes weather maps, radar and satellite imagery, and upper air charts to explain and describe all types of hazardous weather events.</li>
<li>features “Check your Understanding” questions after major topic sections which encourage the reader to assess their knowledge of the most recently presented material. “Test your Understanding” questions that provide a thorough review of the contents of each chapter. “Test Your Problem-Solving Skills” sections are for more advanced students.</li>
