From the book reviews: "This edited volume provides an introduction to the research and to several case studies that have emerged from that work. ... This volume would be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the practical modeling of natural hazards and catastrophic risks." (IEEE Control Systems Magazine, October, 2013)
