..."THE ENVIRONMENT AS HAZARD is essential reading in any course on natural hazards." --"Progress in Physical Geo"
"This landmark book, first published in 1978, examines research and policy issues relating to natural hazards....The authors have written new introduction and concluding chapters that contain information on major advances in the field since 1978, some of which involve new theories or criticism of their original work. In addition, they review changes in research in the last 15 years and describe how research findings have been incorporated into programs and public policy." --"Natural Hazards Observer"

"I believe that scientists, architects, engineers, urban planners, emergency managers, and health care specialists involved in natural-disaster-risk management can benefit significantly by reading this book. Planners, emergency managers, medical service specialists, architects, engineers, and scientists have important roles in reducing the risk from natural hazards in their community. Urban planners plan the way groups of engineered and non-engineered buildings will be combined to form streets and ultimately the urban center. Medical service specialists and emergency managers organize the human and material resources of the community for emergency response and recovery. Architects design individual buildings, focusing mainly on the building configuration, non-structural elements, and occupant safety. Engineers, architects, and scientists work together to ensure that new buildings will meet the requirements of the local building and land use regulations and withstand the physical effects of the hazards." --Walter W. Hays, Deputy for Research Applications, United States Department of the Interior
