Natural Disasters
Natural Disasters – Review
I commonly used this book for one of my Earth and Ocean Science courses at the University of British Columbia. Although I enjoyed the many fine examples, I commonly found that the text did not have a very reliable flow to it. I commonly found some of it to be choppy, and some of the sentences to be quite unclear. I agree, the examples are interesting, but it seems like the text relies on those examples to be interesting. I think a portion of processes could have been fully explained better, as I previously thought the point from class notes I poorly received from my professors did a lot better than the text in actually helping me understand specific processes. I definetely agree it’s a beginner text though as the examples produce a clear indication that environmental disasters only occur because humans have originally inhabited locations that often times warn lives.
