Summary: "This book is consistent with the aim of the K to 12 science program. Teaching science is a very difficult undertaking but is made a bit easier by using the readers' experience with natural hazards and disasters. In this book, the students learn to use qualitative and quantitative data on natural hazards in making logical inferences. The knowledge acquired can then be applied in adapting to the natural processes that may impact their lives." --Preface
