Geological Hazards by Fred G Bell

Geological Hazards presents a state-of-the-art survey and examines methods of assessing, evaluating and combating hazards, both natural and man-made.

"The author is to be congratulated on the large number of examples he cites, drawn from many parts of the world and with excellent UK representation" Geographical Association 2/01

"Although dealing with highly complex phenomena, the content of this volume is readily accessible by non-specialists, those in management roles, or those generally seeking a better understanding of geohazard phenomena." The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2

"The discussion of hazards is both Comprehensive and critical and Bell does a good job of clarifying the complexity and uncertainty inherent in the study of geohazards. This critical focus further enhances the utility of this volume as an aid to comprehensive all-hazards planning." The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2

"...an essential resource for those in emergency management and planning." The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2

"...an excellent and accessible review of diverse hazard phenomena and one that should be regarded as essential reading for anyone requiring a detailed and comprehensive summery of hazard phenomena and who is grappling with the complexities of developing all-hazards plans and response capabilities." The Australasian Journal of Disaster and Trauma Studies Volume 2001/2

"Geological Hazards is a welcome and valuable addition to the literature covering this subject. Its wide and balanced approach to the subject will be of great use to educators, researchers and planners and fills a clear gap in the subject. It is very well written and as an accessible and informative text interested undergraduates will read it avidly." The Geographical Journal 2002
