From the reviews:
"This is an important book. It will help our understanding of how to manage flood risk, by illuminating different circumstances where this is a threat to vulnerable populations. Such risk management is new, and not easy, but crucial for the development of susstinable catchment planning".
Professor Edmund Penning-Rowsell, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research) and Head of Flood Hazard Research Centre Middlesex University Queensway Enfield Mddx EN3 4SA
"As a chapter author, I feel privileged to have contributed to this volume. The book contains an impressive collection of ideas and materials, covering important aspects of flood management and flood risk reduction. It will be useful to practitioners and academics, contributing to the increasing challenges of managing these extreme events and helping us to reduce our vulnerability".
Dr. Ilan Kelman, Deputy Director, Centre for Risk in the Built Environment, University of Cambridge, UK
"The comprehensive book Flood Risk Management in Europe: Innovation in Policy and Practice, containing 26 articles in five thematic sections and filling over 500 pages, provides a wealth of information on many aspects of floods, flood impacts, and flood management. The multi-disciplinary views embrace economic, physical, environmental, technical, management, legal, and institutional aspects. The book has a strong focus on applications, rather than ivory-tower academic research. Results of national and international projects are presented, therein findings achieved in the framework of collaborative research through successive framework programmes funded by the European Commission. Authors, working in more than a dozen countries in Europe and beyond, report on lessons learnt and present success stories, sharing knowledge about examples of good practice and useful case studies.
The targetted audience of this useful reference are stakeholders and decision makers, yet also scientists, educators, and civic society groups interested in floods, flood impacts and flood preparedness systems, may find this book useful. The book will certainly help in understanding clarification of concepts and measures of flood protection and flood policies in Europe."
Professor Z. W. Kundzewicz, Polish Academy of Science, Poznan, Poland and PIK, Potsdam, Germany
