Absolute Disaster99 things you should know about natural disasters

Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £9.72
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Absolute Disaster explores ninety-nine commonly held misconceptions about natural disasters, and answers questions such as... -are natural disasters becoming more frequent? -can mobile phones help calculate how many people have died? -does teaching children to swim help them survive a flood? -can cholera be predicted from space? -do disasters result in 'baby booms'? -is sending relief supplies always the right response? -does coordination work? If charity represents how people would like the world to work, then Absolute Disaster shows how it actually does. "An invaluable contribution to the field of disaster management." DR. PETER WALKER, FORMER DIRECTOR, THE INTERNATIONAL FEINSTEIN CENTER, TUFTS UNIVERSITY "A unique and practical insight into the causes and consequences of disaster." PROF.
