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

Nice!
For someone who doesn’t use tanning lotion (like me) this was a no brainer. I washed my hands after applying but applied just like normal lotion over elbows, knees and ankles. No orange spots. Subtle color but that’s the true trick !

This is pretty good. I noticed a golden glow right after I used it. It smells good and didn't transfer onto my clothes. You can apply it whenever you want. It fades easily of course after a shower, however, just reapply it! I used my hands and just rubbed my entire body. Didn't really streak where it's super noticeable, but I did have a few and no big deal really. Just add more. You definitely get a nice glow and the price is great especially compared to the more expensive lotions that I didn't like at all! The bottle is a nice size. I recommend this if you don't want to spend a lot and you'll definitely get a tinted glow!

Been using for years. It moisturizes the skin and adds just enough tone.
