Book Synopsis Large-Scale Disasters by : Mohamed Gad-el-Hak
Download or read book Large-Scale Disasters written by Mohamed Gad-el-Hak and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2008-06-23 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Extreme' events - including climatic events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, drought - can cause massive disruption to society, including large death tolls and property damage in the billions of dollars. Events in recent years have shown the importance of being prepared and that countries need to work together to help alleviate the resulting pain and suffering. This volume presents an integrated review of the broad research field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common framework for predicting, controlling and managing both manmade and natural disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster modeling, the use of remote sensing and the logistics of disaster management. It will appeal to scientists, engineers, first responders and health-care professionals, in addition to graduate students and researchers who have an interest in the prediction, prevention or mitigation of large-scale disasters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals primarily with understanding, monitoring and prediction of Tropical Cyclones (TCs) over the North Indian Ocean (NIO). There is special emphasis on TC genesis, intensification, movement and associated adverse weather like heavy rainfall and gale winds. It highlights the current state of research on TCs over the NIO and recent improvements in early warning systems due to advances in observational, analytical and numerical weather prediction techniques. The chapters in the book are authored by leading experts from research and operational environments.The chapters presented in the book intend to stimulate thinking and hence further research in the field of TCs, especially over the NIO region. They provide high quality reference material for all experts working in the field of TC related disaster management. This book is relevant to TC forecasters and researchers, managers, policy makers, graduate and undergraduate students.

Download or read book The Truth Between the Lines written by Akhee Williams and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if I told you a bedtime story about Cultural Warfare? Wove a narrative about a government which sanctioned drug dealing and espionage amongst its own citizens? Told a tale about a political and economic system which intentionally manipulated its Media System, in an effort to maintain and control a stratified society? Would you find this story interesting? What if I told you it was true? ... All of it! Would you believe me if I told you this was a story about the United States of America? What if I told you about The Truth Between the Lines? This book is my humble attempt at breaking down and understanding the how and the why of our societal realities; an effort to deconstruct the status quo, and offer suggestions for a more prosperous and inclusive future for every American. I hope you enjoy.

This book was released on 2018-06-23 with total page 851 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural disasters are the killer agents which can/can't be predicted even though we have modern technology. Every year, in one place or another, disasters striking which is devastating the area and surroundings, leading to ecological disruption besides huge loss of life and property. India is vulnerable to cyclones, landslides/avalanches, earthquakes, floods, droughts, forest fires, epidemics, etc. The 5700-km long coast of India, with its dense population is vulnerable to cyclones/low depressions, tsunamis, etc. The 2400-km long rugged Himalayan terrain is vulnerable to landslides, avalanches and earthquakes. India is not only vulnerable to natural disasters, it is also experiencing industrial accidents. The Bhopal Gas tragedy is one of the major man-made disasters in the world. The state of Andhra Pradesh has 970-km long coastline with two major rivers, etc. The conference is conducted in Visakhapatnam, is famous for industries and tourism. Recently, several industrial accidents took place, besides major natural disasters like Hud-Hud, etc. Disaster management shall be implemented from the grass root level in vulnerable areas to improve the capacity building, so as to minimize the losses. The capacity building coupled with technology results in reduction of loss of life and property.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Coastal Processes and Erosion by : Paul D. Komar
Download or read book Handbook of Coastal Processes and Erosion written by Paul D. Komar and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to focus on the physical processes that cause coastal erosion.Many scientists and engineers have focused their research on the entire range of physical processes from the waves and the currents in the nearshore to the response of the beach, via sand transport, resulting in a changing coastal morphology. Of these many processes, this book focuses only on those which directly relate the generation of coastal erosion. Some chapters deal exclusively with the physical processes, while others provide examples of erosion problems although most of the chapter topics have clear implications for issues of coastal-zone management, these issues are not belaboured as several other books are already available in this area. The objective is to provide state-of-the-art presentation of the science of coastal erosion processes.
