Recenzii

"It is both challenging of prevailing discourses, and is written with a cultural sensitivity, which makes it a highly imnportant book for those who whose work explores interactions between people and hazardous environments....A book that it is felt will contribute to a concerted effort by some hazards researchers to bridge the 'risk archipelago." The Geographical Journal, March 2000

'Bolin and Stanford have made an important and timely contribution to the disaster literature.' - The Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management

Descriere
