Critics Review
‘Bringing together anthropology, geography, social work, and law, among other disciplines, this new edited book from Aronsson-Storrier and Dahlberg tackles a critical issue in an era of climate change, extreme weather events, and man-made shocks: how to define a disaster. Rather than providing easy answers, each chapter contributes a different perspective on this topic, some universal, and others quite specific. This book would serve as an ideal discussion piece for undergraduates and graduate students alike.’ – Daniel P. Aldrich, Northeastern University, US
