The first book to offer a multi-disciplinary approach to landslide hazard and risk, and their management in a variety of contexts. Taking a holistic view of this area through the development of integrated approaches to analysis, perception and management, this book offers solutions to concerned organisations, landowners, land managers and researchers.
