Volcanoes have buried entire cities, earthquakes have reduced structures to smoldering ruins. Floods and cyclones have wreaked havoc on river valleys and coastlines, and desertification and climate change have weakened society's underpinnings. Death tolls are often escalated by starvation and illness, which frequently occur in tandem.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This second edition assesses natural disasters on human society and the effect of strategies developed to reduce their impact. This book addresses the interconnectivity of disaster and human responsibility through 23 updated case studies, including a new chapter on the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami and the ensuing Fukushima nuclear disaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Reilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476688095\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476688091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 457\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.93d","brand":"Benjamin Reilly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053094367487,"sku":"9781476688091","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8a76eefa-626f-4fdf-87ad-12798b13730a.jpg?v=1685022372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disaster-and-human-history-benjamin-reilly-9781476688091","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
