Button, Mark Schuller[s.l.] :Berghahn Books,2016.1 online resource (1 p.)Disasters in Context"Contextualizing Disaster" offers a comparative analysis of six recent highly visible disasters and several slow-burning, hidden, crises that include typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, chemical spills, and the unfolding consequences of rising seas and climate change. The book argues that, while disasters are increasingly represented by the media as unique, exceptional, newsworthy events, it is a mistake to think of disasters as isolated or discrete occurrences. Rather, building on insights developed by political ecologists, this book makes a compelling argument for understanding disasters as transnational and global phenomena.Disasters in ContextNature / Natural DisastersbisacshSocial Science / Disasters & Disaster ReliefbisacshNatureNature / Natural DisastersSocial Science / Disasters & Disaster ReliefNature303.48/5Button Gregory VSchuller MarkKnowledge Unlatchedfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK996545362303316Contextualizing disaster1923393UNISA
