It sets out to make sense of the lived experience of disasters that are slowly unfolding as well disasters that have not yet occurred. The inter-disciplinary blend of practice-oriented and conceptual reflections will appeal to academics in postgraduate and postdoctoral research in social sciences, specifically, disaster research, geography, and research fields centred on natural hazards and disasters"-- Provided by publisher. |
