If you have ever had to weed through the official SPSS manual or other SPSS books, you would know how difficult it is to find out how to do simple tasks without having to read a mountain of literature. This book simplifies everything. It tells you (1) how to do it, (2) how to interpret your output, and (3) all in plain English. The book has minimal formulas (but tells you the meaning of what you're doing). Finally, the chapters are organized in a logical way.

Chen, Uwe Deichmann, Arthur L. Lerner-Lam, Margaret Arnold PUBLISHER.: World Bank Publications RELEASE....: 06/23/2005 ISBN..........: 0821359304 EDITION....: March, 2005 PAGES.......: 147 Pages FORMAT.....: PDF LANGUAGE.: ENGLISH MAKER.......: TEAM YYePG PACKAGER.: TEAM YYePG SUPPLIER...: TEAM YYePG ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Book Introduction Earthquakes, floods, drought, and other natural hazards cause tens of thousands of deaths, hundreds of thousands of injuries, and billions of dollars in economic losses each year around the world. Many billions of dollars in humanitarian assistance, emergency loans, and development aid are expended annually. Yet efforts to reduce the risks of natural hazards remain largely uncoordinated across different hazard types and do not necessarily focus on areas at highest risk of disaster. Natural Disaster Hotspots presents a global view of major natural disaster risk hotspots ¡V areas at relatively high risk of loss from one or more natural hazards. It summarizes the results of an interdisciplinary analysis of the location and characteristics of hotspots for six natural hazards ¡V earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, floods, drought, and cyclones. Data on these hazards are combined with state-of-the-art data on the subnational distribution of population and economic output and past disaster losses to identify areas at relatively high risk from one or more hazards.
