Description

Explore the fundamental causes of global catastrophes in The Social Roots of Risk by Kathleen Tierney. Published by Stanford Business Books, this work examines how large-scale disasters like the earthquakes in Haiti and Sumatra, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina impact both developing and first world nations. Rather than viewing cataclysmic events as singular occurrences driven by uncontrollable forces, this book argues that natural, technological, and economic disasters are rooted in common social and institutional factors. This text provides a deep look into the mechanics of disaster production and the pathways toward promoting resilience in an unpredictable world.
