Download or read book Acts of God written by Ted Steinberg and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-20 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the waters of the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain began to pour into New Orleans, people began asking the big question--could any of this have been avoided? How much of the damage from Hurricane Katrina was bad luck, and how much was poor city planning? Steinberg's Acts of God is a provocative history of natural disasters in the United States. This revised edition features a new chapter analyzing the failed response to Hurricane Katrina, a disaster Steinberg warned could happen when the book first was published. Focusing on America's worst natural disasters, Steinberg argues that it is wrong to see these tragedies as random outbursts of nature's violence or expressions of divine judgment. He reveals how the decisions of business leaders and government officials have paved the way for the greater losses of life and property, especially among those least able to withstand such blows--America's poor, elderly, and minorities. Seeing nature or God as the primary culprit, Steinberg explains, has helped to hide the fact that some Americans are simply better able to protect themselves from the violence of nature than others. In the face of revelations about how the federal government mishandled the Katrina calamity, this book is a must-read before further wind and water sweep away more lives. Acts of God is a call to action that needs desperately to be heard.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Committee on Natural Disasters of the National Research Council was formed to study the impact of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes on engineered structures and systems. The objectives of the committee's work are to improve protection against disasters by providing factual reports of the consequences of these extreme events of nature and to stimulate research needed to understand the hazards posed by natural disasters. When the tornadoes of March 28, 1984, struck a number of small towns in South Carolina, Peter Sparks of the Department of Civil Engineering, Clemson University, was asked by the committee to survey the damage to engineered structures and prepare a report. Professor Sparks is one of several structural engineers who had previously volunteered to make postdisaster studies for the committee. Following the field survey, a structural analysis and a wind tunnel test of one of the damaged commercial buildings were completed at Clemson University. This report to the Committee on Natural Disasters covers Professor Sparks' field survey immediately following the tornadoes and the subsequent analysis and wind tunnel test."--Foreword, page v.
