This book is about three important words: coping, calamity and leader. Each of these has a dictionary definition and each is also very specific to the context within which they are used and subject to the perceptions of those who use them. "e;Coping"e; is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as to contend evenly, grapple successfully. It is about recovery, about making it through the difficult times or over the obstacles. Implicit within coping, is the notion of survival, of being able to continue. So who is a "e;Leader? This book is based on the premise that we are all leaders. Some of us hold formal positional roles that we use to define ourselves as leaders, for others it is more subtle. Everyone in this book has demonstrated leadership within his or her community. Every person in this book is an ordinary leader - for whom ordinary, and sometimes extra-ordinary, mishaps happen. There are many books that cover the high profile leaders in the world. Our aim is to share with you what happens when every day leaders meet every day calamities, and how they cope with them.

This book offers a broad theoretical foundation by relating and contrasting relevant international literature with the outcomes of a particular research project. It provides a critical reevaluation of the complex phenomena of coping with disasters on a general level by applying this integrative theory of disaster coping to a specific context. A cultural psychological model is developed in order to suggest ways of understanding and assessing local and cultural specificity. This interaction of the general and locally specific is central to our understanding of cultural psychology of coping with disaster. The book provides a basic overview, by presenting various approaches to coping with natural disasters and relating them to each other in a coherent manner. So far, most research approaches either focus on technical, social, psychological or cultural aspects of coping, neglecting their interconnectedness. Coping is seldom seen as an extensive, long-term process, in which disaster relief complexly interacts and is integrated with the local actors and conditions. Until now, a perspective is missing, in which the mentioned modes of coping are integrated with cultural interpretations and practices and long-standing forms of communal self-help, which possibly develop in places that are frequently threatened by natural disasters.

The Jianghan Plain in central China has been shaped by its relationship with water. Once a prolific rice-growing region that drew immigrants to its fertile paddy fields, it has, since the eighteenth century, become prone to devastating flooding and waterlogging. Jiayan Zhang consults early records of catastrophic water events and explores their role in shaping Jianghan society in the Qing and Republican periods. In a constantly shifting environment, the peasants of Jianghan were forced to adapt their farming methods; cooperate on complex projects like dike building; and even organize social structures, tenancy arrangements, and lifestyles around the pressure and uncertainty of their environment. The first environmental and socioeconomic history of the region, Coping with Calamity considers the Jianghan Plain’s volatile environment, the constant challenges it presented to peasants, and their often ingenious and sophisticated responses.
