Living with Risk: The Geography of Technological Hazards
(Technological hazards arise from our individual and colle...)
Technological hazards arise from our individual and collective use of technology and they present a very different set of problems and public response from their natural counterparts. This book discusses some of the assumptions society makes regarding technological risk and public policies. It provides a variety of examples of specific technological hazards, their management and how the public responds to them. This book is designed to be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of geography.

Hazards Vulnerability and Environmental Justice (Earthscan Risk in Society)
(From Hurricane Katrina and the south Asian tsunami to hum...)
From Hurricane Katrina and the south Asian tsunami to human-induced atrocities, terrorist attacks and the looming effects of climate change, the world is assailed by both natural and unnatural hazards and disasters. These expose not only human vulnerability - particularly that of the poorest, who are least able to respond and adapt - but also the profound worldwide environmental injustices that result from the geographical distribution of risks, hazards and disasters. This collection of essays, from one of the most renowned and experienced experts, provides a timely assessment of these critical themes. Presenting the top selections from Susan L. Cutter's thirty years of scholarship on hazards, vulnerability and environmental justice, the volume tackles issues such as nuclear and toxic hazards, risk assessment, communication and planning, and societal responses. Cutter maps out the terrain and draws out the salient themes with a fresh, powerful introduction written in the wake of her work in the aftermath of Katrina. This essential collection is ideal for professionals, researchers, academics and students working on hazards, risk, disasters and environmental justice across a range of disciplines.
