"Landslides are common in many parts of the world and account for as many fatalities as do earthquakes and volcanic hazards. … Progress in Landslide Science is an international collection of review articles, which provides an impressive summary of the present state of studies. … The volume is attractively produced, providing many color photographs and figures in each chapter. It also contains a comprehensive table of contents and a useful set of up-to-date references for each chapter. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students through professionals." (N. Caine, CHOICE, Vol. v4 (3), November, 2007)
