Produktbeschreibung

"Terry Gibson provides a thorough, sophisticated, yet accessible account of who the disastermakers are, what they do, and how we can do things better. Drawing on decades of on-the-ground experience, a strong body of existing research on the social construction of risk, and his own academic research within disaster studies, Gibson demonstrates the transformative potential for disaster studies of current debates on de- and re-growth in economics and other social sciences"--
