Experience, Theory and Practice\u003c\/em\u003e contains the invited lectures and all papers presented at the 12th International Symposium on Landslides, (Naples, Italy, 12-19 June 2016). The book aims to emphasize the relationship between landslides and other natural hazards. Hence, three of the main sessions focus on Volcanic-induced landslides, Earthquake-induced landslides and Weather-induced landslides respectively, while the fourth main session deals with Human-induced landslides. Some papers presented in a special session devoted to \"Subareal and submarine landslide processes and hazard\" and in a \"Young Session\" complete the books. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLandslides and Engineered Slopes. Experience, Theory and Practice\u003c\/em\u003e underlines the importance of the classic approach of modern science, which moves from experience to theory, as the basic instrument to study landslides. Experience is the key to understand the natural phenomena focusing on all the factors that play a major role. Theory is the instrument to manage the data provided by experience following a mathematical approach; this allows not only to clarify the nature and the deep causes of phenomena but mostly, to predict future and, if required, manage similar events. Practical benefits from the results of theory to protect people and man-made works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLandslides and Engineered Slopes.
