Description
Disaster Risk offers a comprehensive and unique perspective on disaster risk associated with natural hazards. This book covers a wide range of topics, reflecting recent debates as well as older discussions in the academic field of disaster studies. The text is structured to provide two main reading pathways, allowing for flexibility in teaching and learning. The first pathway focuses on the interactions between human and natural dimensions of disasters, while the second cuts across previous sections to address transversal issues such as vulnerability, capacities, and cross-cutting concerns like gender and health. With its innovative structure and four authors' extensive experience in disaster studies, this book is particularly suited for undergraduate students studying geography and environmental science.
