Events in recent years have shown the importance of being prepared and that countries need to work together to help alleviate the resulting pain and suffering. This volume presents an integrated review of the broad research field of large-scale disasters. It establishes a common framework for predicting, controlling and managing both manmade and natural disasters. There is a particular focus on events caused by weather and climate change. Other topics include air pollution, tsunamis, disaster modeling, the use of remote sensing and the logistics of disaster management. It will appeal to scientists, engineers, first responders and health-care professionals, in addition to graduate students and researchers who have an interest in the prediction, prevention or mitigation of large-scale disasters.Natural disastersNatural disaster warning systemsNatural disastersRisk assessmentHazardous geographic environmentsRisk assessmentNatural disasters.Natural disaster warning systems.Natural disastersRisk assessment.Hazardous geographic environmentsRisk assessment.363.34Gad-el-Hak Mohamed1945-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910451439203321Large-scale disasters1899463UNINA05631nam 2200697 450 991080733320332120230126213032.090-272-6833-9(CKB)3710000000437780(EBL)2077072(SSID)ssj0001516942(PQKBManifestationID)12588389(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001516942(PQKBWorkID)11499660(PQKB)10677726(PQKBManifestationID)16040955(PQKB)21920779(MiAaPQ)EBC2077072(DLC) 2015018159(EXLCZ)99371000000043778020150505h20152015 uy| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDialogue in multilingual and multimodal communities /edited by Dale A.

This chapter focuses on the experiences and resultant beliefs and practices of a group of teachers from a range of backgrounds (local, national, international) engaged in a highly diverse community of practice. Data were collected through a mixed focus group, interviews and written responses at a university in Southern China, where local, regional, mainland, autonomous territory and overseas Chinese, as well as native, non-native, secoDialogue studies ;v. 27.MultilingualismSocial aspectsIntercultural communicationSocial aspectsDiscourse analysisSocial aspectsNeighborhoodsSocial aspectsMultilingualismSocial aspects.Intercultural communicationSocial aspects.Discourse analysisSocial aspects.NeighborhoodsSocial aspects.306.44306.446Koike Dale AprilBlyth Carl S(Carl Stewart),1958-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807333203321Dialogue in multilingual and multimodal communities1385684UNINA
