What is a Disaster? Addresses the most basic question in the field: that of defining the phenomenon of study. For theoretical advancement, it is important that researchers begin to develop a consensus about the meaning of disasters and related phenomena. With the rise in international terrorism, one must clarify whether these events are disasters and if so, what kind of disasters. Similarly, in addition to natural disasters, do we include riots, explosions, nuclear power plant accidents, damn collapses, and land subsidence under the same conceptual umbrella? What practical and theoretical differences does it make if the same label is used or not used for such different situations? What is a Disaster? Brings together twelve social scientists representing eight disciplines and seven countries to share their definition and vision of disasters. In the process, a wide range of views are expressed and issues raised regarding the relationship of academic versus practical definitions, the impact of grouping types of disasters in different ways, and the epistemologies on which theoretical growth should rest. The forum provided involves the presentation of each author's views, followed by a discussant's critique, and closed with a response from the author. The editor's close the volume with discussions of the theoretical framework of disaster research and an agenda for disaster research in the twenty-first century.Binding Type: Paperback

Buy this while it’s priced so low.
Color: Brown, Size: 74"x60"
I am a collector of furry blankets and this one is my new favorite. It’s heavy, and really warm. It’s also a beautiful blanket with the hair tones differently than I’ve seen before. Thank you for the high quality and a relatively lower price than other of close to the same value. It’s so soft and beautiful I had to buy another one!

Super Soft, Fluffy and Doesn’t Shed!
Color: Beige, Size: 74"x60", Color: Beige, Size: 74"x60"
I am genuinely impressed with this faux fur blanket. It’s incredibly soft, warm, and very fluffy — exactly what I was hoping for. The quality feels luxurious, and the fur does not shed at all, even after shaking it out and using it every day. It looks beautiful on my sofa and adds a cozy, stylish touch to the room. Highly recommend if you want comfort and a premium feel without the premium price!

You won’t be disappointed!
Color: Brown, Size: 50"x60", Color: Brown, Size: 50"x60"
Absolutely LOVE this fur throw! This is the 50x60 Brown. It is a gorgeous thick luxurious fur throw. I couldn’t wait to get it out of its bag and I wasn’t disappointed! The colors are exactly what I was wanting. A dark brown with the added black. It is so soft and the fur has a long pile. Has a perfect weight to it. Makes a great cozy throw for Winter nights. It’s everything I thought it would be and more. Worth every penny! I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!
