About the Book

This book presents current progress in landslide science and consists of four parts: (1) Progress in Landslide Science, (2) Landslide Dynamics, (3) Landslide Monitoring, and (4) Landslide Risk Assessment. It provides useful information to academics, practitioners, and government officers working on landslide risk-mitigation planning. This book can be also used as an introductory textbook for college students who wish to learn fundamental scientific achievements in the field of landslide disaster reduction.

Review :
From the reviews: "Landslides are common in many parts of the world and account for as many fatalities as do earthquakes and volcanic hazards. … Progress in Landslide Science is an international collection of review articles, which provides an impressive summary of the present state of studies. … The volume is attractively produced, providing many color photographs and figures in each chapter. It also contains a comprehensive table of contents and a useful set of up-to-date references for each chapter. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (N. Caine, CHOICE, Vol. v4 (3), November, 2007) “This book compiles findings from recent research works on landslides. … there are two appendices at the end of the book that include further information about some general issues related to landslides … . The editors are congratulated for their great effort on getting this multi-author book well organised and edited. … Landslide researchers and practitioners may find this book useful for updating and validating their knowledge. It is recommended to keep as a reference book for landslide specialists.” (Baolin Wang, Landslides, Vol. 6, 2009)
