Covers a spectrum of events ranging from floods, the tsunami of 2004, earthquakes and landslides to such long-term processes as the decline of pastures or coastlines. In this title, the authors engage in definition of crisis, disaster and catastrophe in order to differentiate emic and etic perceptions.
