Book Synopsis Earthquake Protection by : Andrew Coburn
Download or read book Earthquake Protection written by Andrew Coburn and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2002-10-11 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of the successful first edition of Earthquake Protection there have been 110 lethal earthquakes, killing 130 000 people; there have also been significant developments in the field of earthquake risk management, particularly in the modelling and analysis of risk for insurance and financial services. Furthermore, major earthquake disasters, such as the 1994 Northridge earthquake in California, the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan and the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey have occurred. The experience and knowledge gained through these events have improved our understanding of how to manage, mitigate and work towards the prevention of similar catastrophes. The 1990s were in fact the costliest decade on record in terms of disaster management due to such seismic events, placing unprecedented pressure on the insurance industry in particular, and changing its view of earthquake protection. Significantly revised and updated, this second edition continues to provide a comprehensive overview of how to reduce the impact of earthquakes on people and property, and implement best practice in managing the consequences of such disasters. It also includes significant coverage of the techniques of modelling earthquake catastrophe. Each chapter deals with a separate aspect of protection, and covers a wide range of economic and social conditions, drawing on the authors' considerable personal experience and with reference to real life examples. Key features include: Recent event coverage Modern developments in the theory and practice of planning and engineering loss estimation techniques, along with new engineering techniques such as microzonation and hazard-mapping Historic buildings experience An entirely new chapter on 'Earthquakes and Finance' This valuable book provides essential reading for earthquake and structural engineers and geoscientists, as well as insurers and loss prevention specialists, risk managers and assessors involved in managing earthquake risk, urban and regional planners, and emergency management agencies.
Book Synopsis Disaster Operations and Decision Making by : Roger C. Huder
Download or read book Disaster Operations and Decision Making written by Roger C. Huder and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-14 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only book to combine emergency management principLEs with proven military concepts Good disaster plans do not guarantee a good response. Any disaster plan rarely survives the first rain bands of a hurricane or the first tremors of an earthquake. While developing plans is essential, there must be systems in place to adapt these plans to the ever-changing operational environment of a disaster. Currently there is no set of standard disaster response principles to guide a community. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) and the Incident Command System (ICS) provide the framework to implement operational decisions, but they were never designed as operational concepts. The military has developed just such concepts and many of them can be adapted for civilian use. Disaster Operations and Decision Making adapts those military concepts and combines them with disaster lessons learned to create a new opera-tional paradigm. Emphasizing team building, Emergency Operations Center operational systems, and situational awareness, the book details easily adopted methods. All of these methods are designed to be incorporated into the NIMS and ICS framework to enhance a community's response to any type of disaster. Disaster Operations and Decision Making is an essential resource for emergency managers, fire chiefs, law enforcement officers, homeland security professionals, public health officials, and anyone else involved or interested in crisis management.

Book excerpt: It Happened in Northern California takes readers on a rollicking, behind the scene look at some of the characters and episodes from the state's storied past. Including famous tales, famous names as well as little known heroes, heroines, and happenings. Northern California is well known for its towering redwoods, Spanish missions, and gold mines, but few know about the two-year-long Native American occupation of Alcatraz, efforts by some northern Californians to establish the US's fifty-first state, or that John Sutter never capitalized on the gold rush that began on his land. It Happened in Northern California goes behind the scenes to tell these stories and many more, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped the Golden State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ***** Includes 2021 Independent Press Award Winner Andalon Awakens! ***** Two Worlds Collide in Andalon Here is the entire action-packed Dreamers of Andalon Trilogy. Critics agree that these characters are so vivid they come to life, driving the reader to tears of both dread and celebration as T.B. Phillips paints a world directly into your mind. This modern fantasy combines magic with emotion while promising political intrigue and adventure. Each page transports you to a realm of dueling worlds, one advanced and the other locked in the age of sail and pirates. This Trilogy Contains Andalon Awakens Andalon Arises Andalon Attacks Many years from now, in a world in which we have all been forgotten, the Caldera of Cinder erupts and Andalon descends into chaos. Pirates and outlaws ally against tyranny as magical powers awaken at alarming rates, unraveling the plans of the evil Falconers. These dark administrators harvest children who could potentially manipulate the elements, stealing their abilities for a darker purpose. The heroes of this tale include Eusari Thorinson, kidnapped and sold at a young age. She must choose vengeance against those responsible for the pain she endured in evil hands, or choose to challenge the Falconers beside Braen Braston, a quiet outcast from the northern kingdom of Fjorik. Across the continent Robert Esterling fights to come of age and struggles with physical limitations while leading a civil war against his usurper brother, the leader chosen by the Falconers. He must decide the fate of thousands of refugees from the west, the hated and feared Pescari and their powerful goddess of fire. Follow these unlikely heroes as they face political intrigue and work through personal barriers. Read along as they learn to use their powers without destroying the very people they feel compelled to save. Gasp as they discover much more dangerous foe than Andalon ever dreamed. The Battle for Andalon is on and all Hands are on Deck!” ”In this dystopian vision, author T.B.Phillips has created a page-turner. The writing style is cinematic, the pace is good, and the characters are captivating. I especially like the female heroines, who are feisty warriors. There is plenty of contrast in the depiction of characters and they feel real because of their human flaws. The epic sea-battles are especially convincing, since the author draws on a world he knows well. The best thing about this book is the detailed world-building. There is a sense of mystery and a world beyond the book, a magical or spiritual dimension which is explored by the emotants and their animal familiars. Co-existing with this idea of magic and prophecy, is the reality of political machinations and a brutish world where duplicity reigns. The book is thought-provoking." - Suzy Davies, ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ "Sometimes you read a book and realize you're reading art. This book does that." "I was absolutely blown away by the rich descriptions and well-formed action sequences. This book is a clinic in writing artistry. It was outstanding in every regard. If there was an option for a sixth star, this book should get it. This book was turned up to 11 all the way to the end. Nice Work." - ZombieTex, ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑ "A fantastic tale with pirates, sword fights, magic, love, betrayal, secrets and more!" "TB Phillips is becoming a master-craftsman weaving a beautiful tapestry of characters, adventure and wonder. The imagery of the battles at sea, the Pescari people, and even the evil that lurks behind the book cover is magnificently written. You will latch onto each character and hope your beloved favorites survive to the end of the series. Phillips has a vivid imagination that compels the reader to turn the pages faster and faster until they finish with a desire to read more." - Maria Thompson, ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑
