From the reviews: "This volume represents the proceedings of the First General Assembly of the International Consortium on Landslides which was held in Washington ... . The illustrations and images are mainly of the highest quality. ... I highly recommend the book as a library resource for all institutions. Professionals involved in landslide work will find several interesting papers worth their time to explore. I expect that this production will be present on the shelves of many scientists and engineers." (Peter T. Bobrowsky, Landslides, Vol. 6, 2009)
