Raging floods, massive storms and cataclysmic earthquakes: every year up to 340 million people are affected by these and other disasters, which cause loss of life and damage to personal property, agriculture, and infrastructure. This title analyzes 'vulnerability' as a concept central to the way we understand disasters and their impact.
