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. 606 $aNatural disasters$xSocial aspects 606 $aNatural disasters$xPress coverage 606 $aPolitical ecology 606 $aGlobalization 615 0$aNatural disasters$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aNatural disasters$xPress coverage. 615 0$aPolitical ecology. 615 0$aGlobalization. 676 $a303.48/5 702 $aButton$b Gregory 702 $aSchuller$b Mark$f1973- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910735300903321 996 $aContextualizing disaster$91923393 997 $aUNINA
