Description

At Risk challenges the conventional understanding of natural disasters by arguing that extreme natural events become disasters only when vulnerable populations are exposed to them. This updated edition addresses a decade of increasingly costly and deadly disasters, examining disaster not as an aberration but as a signal failure of mainstream development. The book questions the ideological myth embedded in the term 'natural disaster' itself, offering critical analysis of earthquakes, hurricanes, floods and other extreme natural events through the lens of human vulnerability and social structures. Published by Routledge, this comprehensive work provides two analytical models for understanding the relationship between natural hazards and disaster risk, making it essential reading for students and professionals in earth sciences, development studies and disaster management seeking to move beyond simplistic views of natural phenomena.
