Abstract: Introduction to Natural and Man-Made Disasters and Their Effects on Buildings by Roxanna McDonald utilizes dialogue and graphics in introducing the reader to potential hazards and vulnerabilities of buildings stemming from natural and manmade disasters. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific stimulus, including earthquake, tornadoes, hurricanes, and volcanoes, as well as potential vulnerabilities due to acts of malevolence -- terrorism.
