Cinematic Encounters with Disaster takes Hollywood's disaster movies and their codified versions of natural disaster, post-apocalyptic survival, and extra-terrestrial threat as the starting point for an analytical trajectory that works toward new understandings of how cinema shapes and informs our conceptions of disaster and catastrophe. It examines a range of films from distinct regional and industrial contexts: Hollywood, indie movies, different kinds of documentaries from the US and elsewhere, and auteurist-realist cinema from Europe and Asia. Moving across and beyond critical and industrial categories that often inform thinking about cinema, this book contends that different approaches to film style can push us to imagine disaster in distinct ways, with distinct ethical connotations. Framed by contemporary concerns around the global climate crisis and the advent of the Anthropocene, questions about how films can best offer responses to historical exigency guide the book's explorations of spectacular 2010s blockbusters like Gravity (2013) and San Andreas (2015), environmental documentaries including the paradigmatic An Inconvenient Truth (2006), post-disaster films by auteurs including Abbas Kiarostami and Lav Diaz, and more. Conceiving of disaster as intersubjective ethics between humans and nonhuman alterity – forces of nature, errant technology, monsters, ghosts, and other entities – it analyses how formal techniques and narrative strategies render encounters in which human protagonists are confronted with the threat of death and respond in ways that can be instructive for our planet's present juncture.

Growing concerns about climate change and the increasing occurrence of ever more devastating natural disasters in some parts of the world and their consequences for human life, not only in the immediately affected regions, but for all of us, have increased our desire to learn more about disaster experiences in the past. How did disaster experiences impact on the development of modern sciences in the early modern era? Why did religion continue to play such an important role in the encounter with disasters, despite the strong trend towards secularization in the modern world? What was the political role of disasters? Historical Disasters in Context illustrates how past societies coped with a threatening environment, how societies changed in response to disaster experiences, and how disaster experiences were processed and communicated, both locally and globally. Particular emphasis is put on the realms of science, religion, and politics. International case studies demonstrate that while there are huge differences across cultures in the way people and societies responded to disasters, there are also many commonalities and interactions between different cultures that have the potential to alter the ways people prepare for and react to disasters in future. To explain these relationships and highlight their significance is the purpose of this volume.

Theresa Ann Dunbar (Munchie) is four years old when she becomes aware that there is something missing from her young existence. While she romps with the other children in the yard of the tenement where she lives with her father and a series of women he brings home, she realizes that her own mother is missing. She struggles to understand the meaning of her existence as she encounters disaster after disaster on her journey to adulthood, all the while hoping that somehow she will find the woman who abandoned her in that filthy yard to fend for herself. And then she meets Romie, the son of one of the women her father Frederick brings into her life. Their youthful passion is denied, however, when Romie also disappears from her life and Munchie must learn to survive on her own. Her naiveté is shattered as she enters adulthood and she grasps for anchors as her world turns upside-down and back again. The story of My Father and Other Disasters is a painful one for thousands who go on a quest to find their parents. Some, in their search will encounter that parent. Others will, for one reason or another, never experience this closure. Their journey is eternal.

This handbook lays out well-researched disaster preparedness techniques, in a language that's easy for anyone to get through. With lots of photos for illustration, it covers almost all disasters that dominate Kenya's profile, including terror attack, carjacking, fire outbreaks, floods, structural collapse, transportation accidents, conflicts and epidemics. In addition, this guidebook contains comprehensive first aid procedures for injuries or illnesses that every so often occur at home, workplace, or social places. But unlike other training materials, this guide focuses on prevention than merely knowing how to respond to emergencies after they occur. It is based on the experience of the Author in handling epic disasters, making the book more realistic and up to date. Modern-day topics, such as psychological first aid, are all in this manual to help people cope with trauma, and to explore ways of living satisfactorily. This is definitely the book to read. It is the first published disaster preparedness manual in Kenya, aimed at helping people stay safe and curb fatal disasters.
