Recenzii

"In an unequal world increasingly marked by disaster, how can communities recover equitably? That question lies at the heart of this essential evidence-based volume. This is a compelling must read for anyone who wants to understand how to best prepare for and manage disaster recovery while mitigating future risks."
Lori Peek, Professor of Sociology and Director of the Natural Hazards Center, University of Colorado Boulder

"I welcome this third edition of Disaster Recovery with great pleasure. The text is written and organized with the clarity and ease of access necessary for undergraduate readers. At the same time, it is admirable in its inclusion of all the complexities necessary for a deep understanding of disaster management in the 21st century. Among its strengths are the inclusion of a robust chapter on theory, integration of international perspective that enables learning from abroad, and the courageous centering of human- made root causes of disaster and ways to address them, building a management culture that can support both resilience and resistance. I expect it to be the essential text for all Disaster Management courses in the US and beyond."
Martha Bragin, PhD, LCSW, Professor and Chair Global Social Work and Practice with Immigrants and Refugees, Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College

"For this new and revamped edition of her classic Disaster Recovery, sociologist Brenda Phillips has partnered with displacement and asylee expert Jenny Mincin. The duo has up come with a masterpiece that students will look up at for years to come. It is indeed likely to become the go-to reading for learning about all aspects of recovery following disasters, a dimension of disaster risk reduction and management that has long been neglected by textbooks. This third edition of Disaster Recovery particularly stands out by the breath of its perspectives and cases studies, spanning a wide array of disciplines and geographical locations; hence making the textbook a potential reference for a large range of academic programmes, from undergraduate to postgraduate, all around the world. A must read and recommend for sure!"
JC Gaillard, Ahorangi / Professor of Geography, Disaster, Environment and Society Research Group School of Environment / Te Kura Mātai Taiao, The University of Auckland / Waipapa Taumata Rau / New Zealand / Aotearoa

"Remarkably, the third edition of Disaster Recovery has distinguished itself from the previous, exceptional volumes and is undoubtedly the most all-inclusive book on this dynamic and ever-changing topic. While Phillips and Mincin’s work takes a comprehensive, all-hazards approach by clearly defining an evidence-based, best practice guidance for preparation and recovery efforts from disasters, it emphasizes the importance of sustainability and resilience in both pre- and post-event planning. Its unified integration of seemingly disparate stakeholders, humanitarian issues, geo-politics, environmental implications, cybersecurity, psychological impact, and vulnerable populations clearly demonstrates the wide-ranging scope this book encompasses. This is a must-read for those seeking a holistic and comprehensive understanding of emergency management."
Mark Genatempo, Fellow, Rutgers University Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience, and Managing Director, Cardinal Point Strategies

"This new edition of Disaster Recovery is an amazing extension of the two previous volumes. Phillips and Mincin’s emphasis on the importance of reducing social vulnerability in both disaster recovery and times of normalcy reminds us that achieving social equity in emergency management requires holistic and ongoing approaches. Moreover, their expanded attention to events affecting geopolitics, public health, and cyber security, in addition to natural hazards, vividly illustrates the truly global and interdisciplinary application this text has."
Jason Rivera, Associate Professor of Public Management, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY
