As the extreme weather in the ice storm may foreshadow what will occur with global warming, Leadership in Disaster also explores the politics, economics, ethics, and cultural predispositions involved in climate change, investigating how modern societies create both the risks they assume are acceptable and the burden of managing them. An innovative comparison with Amish communities, where the same extreme weather had trivial consequences, is instructive for avoiding future socio-economic catastrophes. 606 $aClimatic changes$zCanada 606 $aClimatic changes$zUnited States 606 $aEmergency management$xPlanning 606 $aIce storms$zCanada, Eastern 606 $aIce storms$zNew England 606 $aLeadership 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aEmergency management$xPlanning. 615 0$aIce storms 615 0$aIce storms 615 0$aLeadership. 676 $a363.34/92609713 700 $aMurphy$b Raymond$f1943-$0897641 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828414603321 996 $aLeadership in disaster$94042597 997 $aUNINA
