Recenzii
The authors have hit the nail on the head with the need for a book that covers the breadth of the natural hazard and disaster management field from a largely social perspective and which can be traversed in different ways – Professor Melissa Parsons, School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, University of New England, US
The approach of covering the topic widely from the point of view of physical processes, social research into hazards, vulnerability and specific sub-topics within these fields is useful. I have a preference for textbooks on disaster risk which look at both physical and social aspects of the issue and the authors approach does this. My preference for this broad scope reflects the interdisciplinary nature of disaster risk reduction and management. Dr Kate Taylor Smith Cambourne School of Mines, University of Exeter, UK

Descriere
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.
