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

Great Denim jacket!
I purchased a 2xl for my husband and it's a great quality and price. He really loves it. It's a good stretch and he's able to place a hoodie or a thicker shirt and still be comfortable if need be. Will be purchasing him another color of this jeans jacket.

Good Value Denim Jacket With True to Size Fit
Great denim jacket for the price. It feels durable and well made, though the quality is not quite on par with higher end name brands, which is to be expected at this price point. The fit is true to size and matches expectations. It is comfortable out of the box and, like most denim, should become even more comfortable as it breaks in over time. The arm length runs slightly long, but if you usually find sleeves long on jackets, this one will fit similarly.

Great base to add patches to
I've bought this jacket twice now (lost the first one...). Great base for my DIY patch jackets. I buy an XL even though it's a size too large for me. It's a standard denim jacket, not much to write home about. Good pocket size, and I appreciate the functional chest pockets.
