Disaster management aims to reduce human suffering and economic losses caused by natural and technological disasters. We do this by helping the World Bank provide a more strategic and rapid response to disasters and promoting the integration of disaster prevention and mitigation efforts into the range of development activities. Poorly planned development can turn a recurring natural phenomenon into a human and economic disaster. Allowing the degradation of natural resources increases the risk of disaster. This book will be devoted mainly to theoretical and conceptual aspects of disaster management risk assessment hazard minimization and vulnerability analysis. This book also deals with the various elements of disaster management process including the required disaster management plans for specific kinds of disasters such as tsunami cyclone hurricane earthquake flood landslide industrial accidents oil spill AIDS/HIV etc. just naming a few. 282 pp.

The objective of this book is to provide readers/students with an integrated understanding of the global environmental regimes for the water resources of the world both terrestrial and marine covering the oceans coast small island and wetland. The book aims to advance the interests of oceans (incorporating 72% of the earth's surface) coast (the home of 50% of the world's population) and islands (43% of the world's nations are small island developing states which are especially dependent on the oceans) and wetlands (both coastal and terrestrial ones of international importance). This enormous coverage of three fourths areas of the world itself makes this volume so important. The mother of all global environmental guidelines the convention on the law of the sea is covered in detail. The recent programme of action for sustainable development of small island developing states is described. The Ramsar Convention on Wetland is presented with all the recent amendments.

Alternative energy refers to energy sources which are not based on the burning of fossil fuels or the splitting of atoms. The renewed interest in this field of study comes from the undesirable effects of pollution (as witnessed today) both from burning fossil fuels and from nuclear waste byproducts. Fortunately there are many means of harnessing energy which have less damaging impacts on our environment. Alternative energy is no longer a secret. Most of the world's energy needs are fulfilled by including gasoline and coal. It cannot be denied however that their supply is no longer in a stable state their prices have gone up and they have been found to cause damage to the environment. The negative effects of the use of fossil fuels are taking its toll on Mother Earth and mankind. Pollution mainly from the burning of fuels has long been pointed as a major cause of the earth's deterioration and man's health problems notably those related to respiratory illnesses. Additionally world prices of fuel don't show signs of going down to its original level forcing man to search for alternative sources of energy. Alternative energy basically pertains to sources of energy other than those that involve the burning of fossil fuels or splitting of atoms. The earth has actually a huge supply of it which can be used free of charge and what's great about this is that they're environment friendly and renewable. Today there are a number of alternative energy forms that are clean to use and causes very little or no harmful effects to nature at all. These are solar energy wind energy geothermal energy hydroelectric energy tidal energy nuclear energy and biofuel. This reference book entitled Handbook of Alternate Energy is a complete sourcebook on the subject. An introduction alternative and renewable energy is provided with focus on energy development co processing distributed generation virtual power plant country wise electricity production from renewable sources and related case studies. Various sources forms and concerns of alternative energy are covered including that of energy fuel. The capacity factor and environmental concerns with electricity generation are covered. The solar thermal energy and photovoltaic are discussed in detail. The third generation photovoltaic cell nanoantenna dye sensitized solar cell and dye sol are analyzed. Solar energy technology and companies are described with select case studies of international solar Electric Technology Inc. Aisin Seiki Co. Konarka Technologies Ascent Solar Technologies inc. Copper Indium Gallium Selenide Global Solar and Heliovolt Corporation. The subject areas of hydro power and hydroelectric energy are covered with special focus on types of hydropower plants history of hydropower development types of hydropower turbines mobilehydricity and run of the river hydroelectricity.
