At Risk
This was a textbook used in my one of my geography courses. The book takes a lot of time describing different hazards and how they can be applied to a diagnostic method of Pressures and Releases and a closer look at how different households have access to resources that reduce their risk from hazards.
I think these diagnostic methods could probably be streamlined a bit better. The way they're described in the book is confusing. The most useful examples are the "Boxes" which describe real world scenarios where you can see how vulnerability exists for people at high risk of Natural Disasters. That being said, reading the book is very tedious. It's hard to keep focused on the material, and therefore difficult to absorb the material and how its applied to the Pressure and Release, and Access methods.
