"Disasters and Development" is both timely and important in reminding us that the links between development, disaster and survival is to recognize the challenges that lie ahead for the developed and developing worldDr. Collins' descriptive and eye witness accounts are rich in human interest to connect the impact of immediate disaster with long-term development issues." Earl James Goodyear, International Disaster Risk Management Consultant, US
"Climate change, increasing global poverty and inequality call for a serious revisiting of the disaster-development nexus. This fundamental text makes a significant contribution by exploring the ways in which development paths shape the production and social distribution of disaster risk, loss and opportunities for reduction which reflect back onto development opportunities." Mark Pelling, KCL, UK
