The history and science behind efforts to predict major disasters, from tsunamis to stock market crashes Can we predict cataclysmic disasters such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or stock market crashes? The Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 claimed more than 200,000 lives. Hurricane Katrina killed over 1,800 people and devastated the city of New Orleans. The recent global financial crisis has cost corporations and ordinary people around the world billions of dollars. Megadisasters is a book that asks why catastrophes such as these catch us by surprise, and reveals the history and groundbreaking science behind efforts to forecast major disasters and minimize their destruction. Each chapter of this exciting and eye-opening book explores a particular type of cataclysmic event and the research surrounding it, including earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, rapid climate change, collisions with asteroids or comets, pandemics, and financial crashes. Florin Diacu tells the harrowing true stories of people impacted by these terrible events, and of the scientists racing against time to predict when the next big disaster will strike. He describes the mathematical models that are so critical to understanding the laws of nature and foretelling potentially lethal phenomena, the history of modeling and its prospects for success in the future, and the enormous challenges to scientific prediction posed by the chaos phenomenon, which is the high instability that underlies many processes around us. Yielding new insights into the perils that can touch every one of us, Megadisasters shows how the science of predicting disasters holds the promise of a safer and brighter tomorrow.

From earthquakes to oil spills, Italy is recurrently affected by different kinds of disasters. This book brings a critical perspective to post-disaster reconstruction and recovery, which can impact in both the short- and long- term upon society, politics and organizations. It is often assumed that disaster-hit areas return to normality or even 'build back better' thanks to the interventions of experts. Giuseppe Forino considers the complexities of disaster recovery and the sometimes radical changes in individual and collective behaviours that persist following such events. Bringing together the impacts of natural hazards (including climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic), this edited book will stimulate debate on policy and practice in disaster recovery.

There is much to be gained from the study of catastrophes. Likewise the records of accidents in industry and transport are of great importance, not only by indicating trends in the incidence of loss or casualties, but also as a measure of human behaviour. The third edition of this well received book places emphasis on the human factor, with the first two chapters providing a method of analysing the records of accident and all-cause mortality rates to show their relationship with levels of economic development and growth rates, and to make suggestions as to the way in which such processes may be linked. Case histories are given throughout the book. These are designed to show how human frailty, or the unexpected weakness of materials, or a combination of both, can lead to dire and tragic circumstances. Understand why disasters occur and how they could have been avoided Emphasis is placed on the human factor in catastrophes Case studies illustrate the factors that can lead to dire and tragic circumstances

Cosa hanno in comune lo tsunami che si è abbattuto sulle coste dell'Indonesia, la contaminazione ambientale da scorie chimiche di Love Canal o quella radioattiva che ha inquinato i pascoli saami della Lapponia svedese? Che differenze ci sono fra i disastri dell'Occidente e quelli nei Paesi in via di sviluppo? Qual è il modello interpretativo più efficace di cui disponiamo? Un evento naturale estremo o una catastrofe tecnologica non sono pure fatalità ma il prodotto di rapporti economici, politici, culturali e affettivi che legano comunità umane, tecnologia e ambiente. Le teorie e i metodi di ricerca dell'antropologia culturale, applicati allo studio dei contesti di emergenza di massa, offrono una lettura efficace del grado di vulnerabilità di una comunità, delle sue percezioni del rischio, delle sue possibilità di reazione.

Leggendo questo riassunto, imparerete che una delle conseguenze dei disastri naturali è quella di rendere i ricchi ancora più ricchi e i poveri ancora più poveri. Imparerete anche che : la giunta militare birmana ha usato il ciclone Nargis per consolidare il proprio potere; la maggior parte delle vittime dell'uragano Katrina erano neri, poveri e anziani; New Orleans è la seconda città più diseguale degli Stati Uniti; spesso reagiamo in modo emotivo ai disastri naturali; il terremoto del 2010 a Port-au-Prince ha risparmiato quasi completamente i quartieri ricchi; le scienze sociali sono fondamentali per comprendere e mettere in prospettiva le conseguenze dei disastri naturali. L'autore di "Disasters Profiteers", John C. Mutter, è sismologo e professore alla Columbia University di New York. Parla quindi con cognizione di causa quando parla di disastri naturali. Nel suo libro discute le conseguenze sociali dei disastri naturali. Studia come cicloni, tifoni, uragani, tsunami e altri terremoti contribuiscano ad approfondire le disuguaglianze, permettendo a una piccola frazione della popolazione, che lui chiama "profittatori", di approfittare di queste calamità per consolidare il proprio potere e la propria ricchezza. Un'opera salutare, che ci fa guardare ai disastri naturali sotto una luce completamente nuova.
