Highland and Peter BobrowskyReston, Va. :U.S. Geological Survey,2008.xiii, 129 pages digital, PDF file, color illustrationsCircular ;1325Title from title screen (viewed Dec. 4, 2008).Includes bibliographical references and index.This handbook is intended to be a resource for people affected by landslides to acquire further knowledge, especially about the conditions that are unique to their neighborhoods and communities. Considerable literature and research are available concerning landslides, but unfortunately little of it is synthesized and integrated to address the geographically unique geologic and climatic conditions around the globe. Landslides occur throughout the world, under all climatic conditions and terrains, cost billions in monetary losses, and are responsible for thousands of deaths and injuries each year. Often, they cause long-term economic disruption, population displacement, and negative effects on the natural environment.Landslide handbook LandslidesLandslidesPreventionLandslide hazard analysisLandslides.LandslidesPrevention.Landslide hazard analysis.Highland Lynn1383809Bobrowsky Peter T1402718Geological Survey (U.S.)EJBEJBGPOOCLCQGPOBOOK9910697823903321The landslide handbook3473744UNINA
