The text offers a comprehensive and unique perspective on disaster risk
associated with natural hazards. It covers a wide range of topics,
reflecting the most recent debates but also older and pioneering
discussions in the academic field of disaster studies as well as in the
policy and practical areas of disaster risk reduction (DRR). This book
will be of particular interest to undergraduate students studying
geography and environmental studies/science. It will also be of
relevance to students/professionals from a wide range of social and
physical science disciplines, including public health and public policy,
sociology, anthropology, political science and geology.
