What is a Disaster? Addresses the most basic question in the field: that of defining the phenomenon of study. For theoretical advancement, it is important that researchers begin to develop a consensus about the meaning of disasters and related phenomena. With the rise in international terrorism, one must clarify whether these events are disasters and if so, what kind of disasters. Similarly, in addition to natural disasters, do we include riots, explosions, nuclear power plant accidents, damn collapses, and land subsidence under the same conceptual umbrella? What practical and theoretical differences does it make if the same label is used or not used for such different situations? What is a Disaster? Brings together twelve social scientists representing eight disciplines and seven countries to share their definition and vision of disasters. In the process, a wide range of views are expressed and issues raised regarding the relationship of academic versus practical definitions, the impact of grouping types of disasters in different ways, and the epistemologies on which theoretical growth should rest. The forum provided involves the presentation of each author's views, followed by a discussant's critique, and closed with a response from the author. The editor's close the volume with discussions of the theoretical framework of disaster research and an agenda for disaster research in the twenty-first century.Binding Type: Paperback

Great value and quality
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Medium, Color: Navy Blue, Size: Medium
Great purchase for the price and my husband loved it. It looks high end! The navy blue was beautiful. My only complaint is that one of the pockets ended up with a hole in it somehow after one wear. My husband is 5’11 and wears a 32 waist and it fit perfect.

Perfect for Prom!
Color: Black, Size: Small
I bought the suit for prom for my son. It was last minute. It was better than expected! Nice looking! He looked great! The pants were big on him but he has a slim build. There is elastic in the waist. I added a couple of buttons to pull the elastic band to shrink the waist. It was perfect! The length didn’t need any hemming. Jacket was a great fit. I ordered a Small. My son is 5’7” and 135 lbs.

The arm length was a little long but it was very comfortable and was a great quilt. The color was a deep black. He was able to dance the night away with no worries of damage to the material.

Great quality tuxedo
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
This tuxedo is amazing size was perfect, comfortable and very well made. This tuxedo quality is so above average that it is better than ones I have rented . It was also cheaper in price than a rental. If you need a tuxedo for a formal event this is what you are looking for. If you want to look better then any one else at a non formal event this is the tuxedo you want
