This entry is for Thursday and Friday collectively. My brother came into town this weekend so i forgot to update my blog. On Thursday I got a another book from the Library called Assessment of Research on Natural Hazards writen by Gilbert F. White (My new Idol) He is the father of natural hazard research. Anyway I felt like just the first chapter would give me some insight into the type of research that was done before 1975. I read that chapter and then summarized it. I also read another article and summarized that.

Friday I got a book through from interlibrary loan called World Disaster Report 2005. They have the book electronically but I was able to pull some strings and get them to order one from another library. I got that today and went through some of that -- I don't think it is going to be too helpful but I will look at it more closely to evaluate it. If anything I think that it will really help me see the current situation with hazard research. I took some time to also download some articles and finish a annotated bibliography of one of Susan Cutter's books. This next week is going to be crazy for me (20 page paper!! need I say more) so I am not sure how much work I will get in.
