This book is very simple and easy to understand, I particularly liked the variety of illustrations and diagrams. It offers a good starting point to examining hazards and responses with specific case studies and examples.It also offers a summary at the end of each chapter and questions to test knowledge and understanding.
For those of you without previous knowledge, the book is not very detailed about how hurricanes, tsunamis or other natural disasters occur/formed so another book explaining this may have to be used in conjunction with this book. Otherwise, very student friendly.
