At Risk : Natural Hazards, People's Vulnerability and Disasters
ISBN: 9780415252157 / Angielski / Twarda / 471 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term natural disaster is often used to refer to natural events such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. However, the phrase natural disaster suggests an uncritical acceptance of a deeply engrained ideological and cultural myth. 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,...

ISBN: 9780415471565 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 1872 Yellowstone was established as a National Park. The name caught the public's imagination and by the close of the century, other National Parks had been declared, not only in the USA, but also in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Yet as it has spread, the concept has evolved and diversified. In the absence of any international controlling body, individual countries have been free to adapt the concept for their own physical, social and economic environments. Some have established national parks to protect scenery, others to protect ecosystems or wildlife. Tourism has also been a...

ISBN: 9780415426671 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Development to a large extent determines the way in which hazards impact on people.

Evidence of disaster and development progressing together has attracted increased institutional attention. This includes recognition, through global accords, of a need for disaster reduction in achieving Millennium Development Goals, and of sustainable...
