Book Overview
Provides a balanced coverage of both the physical and human dimensions of disaster risk, in contrast to many of the competing titles which privilege hazards over anthropogenic aspects such as vulnerability, resilience and disaster risk reduction. Disaster Risk offers a uniquely flexible teaching resource through its innovative structure. It emphasises two main reading pathways, the first focuses on the interactions between the human and natural dimensions of disasters and constitutes the linear structure of the book. The second cuts across the previous sections and addresses issues such as natural hazards, vulnerability and capacities as well as cross-cutting issues such as gender, age and health. The four authors all together have extensive experience in the field of disaster studies and provide a wide range of expertise covering both the social and physical dimensions of disasters. In addition, they have a large experience as practitioners of disaster risk reduction and management and have extensively dealt with policy makers over the past two decades. Includes case studies of salient points and specialised readings.
