It also rejects the notion that soil erosion is a politically neutral issue and argues that conservation requires fundamental... First published in 1985.

Forests People and Power : The Political Ecology of Reform in South Asia
ISBN: 9781844073474 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

At Risk : Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability and Disasters
ISBN: 9780415252157 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 471 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

At Risk questions this myth and argues that extreme natural events are not disasters until a vulnerable group of people is exposed. The book focuses on what makes people vulnerable. Often this means analysing the links between poverty and vulnerability. However it is also important to take account of different social groups that suffer more in extreme events,...
