About this product
Product Information
A consistent problem that confronts disaster reduction is the disjunction between academic and expert knowledge and policies and practices of agencies mandated to deal with the concern. Although a great deal of knowledge has been acquired regarding many aspects of disasters, such as driving factors, risk construction, complexity of resettlement, and importance of peoples' culture, very little has become protocol and procedure. Disaster Upon Disaster illuminates the numerous disjunctions between the suppositions, realities, agendas, and executions in the field, goes on to detail contingencies, predicaments, old and new plights, and finally advances solutions toward greatly improved outcomes.

Reviews
"Disaster upon Disaster is written in an accessible language and admirably avoids most of the features of academic discourse ... and humanitarian ... that produce and maintain gaps between academic anthropologists and their applied colleagues. Readers are presented with a fairly wide range of theoretical approaches, and the authors make a number of concrete suggestions for improvements." * Anthropology Book Forum "This book took me on a journey that I must admit was not always comfortable. It challenged me to think more locally... I might not agree with it in every way, but It did what every good academic volume should it made me think more deeply. Thanks to those who were involved in making it." * Recovery Diva Blog "The contributors, individually and collectively, do not merely point to or describe the gaps between knowledge, policy, and practice--they build sturdy bridges across them... I highly recommend this book". * A.J. Faas, San Jose State University "An important contribution to the applied anthropological research on disasters, for it brings together experiences and reflections of various key players in the field--anthropologists, practitioners (e.g. local and international NGO leaders, officials of various functions, and freelance consultants), and other constituents." * Qiaoyun Zhang, Shanghai University, "The contributors, individually and collectively, do not merely point to or describe the gaps between knowledge, policy, and practice--they build sturdy bridges across them...

Shipped quickly Item was exactly as described-brand new still wrapped in the original plastic. Best price I’ve seen: comparable to original retail price instead of jacked up a 100% or more). Like the seller and item so much I bought a second one from them soon after the first one arrived. Would definitely do business with this seller again.
