Earthquake
Reaktion Books 2013; US$ 24.95The 2011 devastating, tsunami-triggering quake off the coast of Japan and 2010’s horrifying destruction in Haiti reinforce the fact that large cities in every continent are at risk from earthquakes. Quakes threaten Los Angeles, Beijing, Cairo, Delhi, Singapore, and many more cities, and despite advances in earthquake science and engineering... more...
Earthquake Source Asymmetry, Structural Media and Rotation Effects
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2006; US$ 189.99Focuses on rotational effects in earthquakes. This monograph investigates rotational waves, basing considerations on modern observations of strong rotational ground motions and detection of seismic rotational waves. It considers structured elastic media that allow for rotational motions and rotational deformations of the ground. more...
Protecting New Health Facilities from Natural Disasters
Pan American Health Organization 2003; US$ 14.00This is the premise of the Guidelines for Vulnerability Reduction in the Design of New Health Facilities for those responsible for management, design, construction and inspection of new health facilities projects. The current publication is an overview of those guidelines and includes recommendations on how to promote their use among national authorities,... more...
Earthquake Early Warning Systems
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99Seismic early warning is being recognized as a methodology which offers the biggest potential for real time seismic risk mitigation, particularly in towns and industrial areas. In order to be effectively applied it requires close cooperation between seismologists, communication experts and seismic engineers. The added value of this book is to offer... more...
Love Always, Petra
Grand Central Publishing 2007; US$ 12.99Model Petra Nemcova's charmed life was changed forever when the tsunami swept her boyfriend away, and left her with a broken pelvis and clinging to a tree for nearly eight hours. All of her proceeds from this book will be donated to the Give2Asia/Happy Hearts Fund helping to rebuild the areas hardest hit. more...
Earthquake Monitoring and Seismic Hazard Mitigation in Balkan Countries
Springer 2008; US$ 79.99Seismology is rated the Queen of Earth Sciences due to its ability to provide detailed structural information bearing on the Earth interior and on-going dynamic processes. This is due to the advanced theoretical foundation of seismology and the extensive cooperation among seismologists on recording and disseminating of data worldwide. In contrast,... more...
Seismic Inverse Q Filtering
Wiley 2009; US$ 179.95Seismic inverse Q filtering is a data processing technology for enhancing the resolution of seismic images. It employs a wave propagation reversal procedure that compensates for energy absorption and corrects wavelet distortion due to velocity dispersion. By compensating for amplitude attenuation, seismic data can provide true relative-amplitude... more...
An Introduction to Seismological Research
Cambridge University Press 1990; US$ 45.00A study of seismological concepts, how they originated and how they form our modern understanding of the science. more...
Human Casualties in Earthquakes
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99Assessment of human casualties in earthquakes has become a topic of vital importance for national and urban authorities responsible for emergency provision, for the development of mitigation strategies and for the development of adequate insurance schemes. In the last few years important work has been carried out on a number of recent events (including... more...
