Description

Challenge the common myths surrounding natural disasters with this updated edition of At Risk by Routledge. While many people use the term natural disaster to describe events like earthquakes, hurricanes, or floods, this text argues that such events only become disasters when a vulnerable group of people is exposed to them. This new edition addresses ten years of increasingly expensive and deadly disasters. It moves beyond viewing these events as random aberrations, instead discussing them as a signal failure of mainstream development. By examining the relationship between natural hazards and human vulnerability, this book provides a necessary perspective for students and professionals in the earth sciences and higher education sectors. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how social and economic factors influence disaster outcomes. This text serves as an essential resource for anyone looking to study the connection between environmental events and human risk through a critical lens.
