Proceedings of a February 1997 workshop, consisting of an overview paper describing the state of the art of landslide risk assessment, four theme papers, and 21 presented papers. Subjects include the risk assessment framework, methods for estimating probability of landsliding, vulnerability, and tolerable risk from landsliding. Specific topics include estimating risk from landslides using historical data, methods of hazard intensity mapping, applying landslide risk management to housing developments in Hong Kong, and management of rock slopes on the Canadian Pacific Railway. Of value to engineers, engineering geologists, geomorphologists, and planners. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
