Book Description

The latest addition to Routledge's popular Hazards and Disasters series, this collection takes a much-needed interdisciplinary and international approach to the natural and social phenomena surrounding earthquakes. The volume provides researchers with the best of the current work in a wide variety of related disciplines, and will also prove an a valuable resource for emergency managers and planners.
The product of an international, interdisciplinary team working in several countries, this four-part collection presents: * work on the physical dynamics of earthquakes * an overview of earthquake-resistant construction and current work on seismic engineering * discussions of social vulnerability to earthquakes * and analyses of emergency planning and disaster response.
