Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard de Edward Bryant

Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard

Autor Edward Bryant
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 iul 2014
It is a comprehensive and well illustrated textbook on all aspects of tsunami. I don't think there is any other book on the topic published. As one bookseller said after the Indian Ocean tsunami event, "I would have just filled my front window with copies and they would have walked out the store." This statement was just as relevant after the Japanese tsunami of 2011 and will be as relevant when the next large tsunami event happens, sooner rather than later. The book can be used by a student or layperson to gain encyclopedic knowledge about tsunami.

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“Bryant (International Univ. of Malaya-Wales), an outstanding international expert, has updated his earlier editions … providing comprehensive coverage of tsunami science and history. … chapters cover tsunami dynamics, tsunami-modified coastal landscapes, major causes, and poignant case histories. … This work is valuable to a wide audience–students and professionals in environmental sciences and economics, coastal engineering, geology, geophysics, and oceanography; civic/emergency planners; and people living along coastlines. … Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries.” (T. T. Grose, Choice, Vol. 52 (6), February, 2015)

Notă biografică

Dr Edward Bryant is a renowned and respected tsunami researcher, writer and teacher in the areas of natural hazards and climatology. Tsunami: The Underrated Hazard was first published by Cambridge University Press in 2001. This is now out of print and CUP confirmed that all rights in the book have reverted to the author. The 2nd Edition incorporates the great Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and the author focuses on geomorphology and the processes and events linked to the main causes of tsunami, namely, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides and, in addition, comet and meteorite impacts.
