Disaster by Choice: How our actions turn natural hazards into catastrophes
Kelman, Ilan (Professor of Disasters and Health, University College London, and Professor II, University of Agder)
We speak of earthquakes, floods, and wildfires as 'natural disasters'. In this provocative book, Ilan Kelman argues that the true disaster is not caused by natural phenomena, but by human choices which leave people unprepared and at terrible risk. He explores how we can and should act to stop people dying when nature unleashes its powers.
