Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In December 2004 the Indian Ocean tsunami devastated coastal regions of Sri Lanka. Six months later, Michele Ruth Gamburd returned to the village where she had been conducting research for many years and began collecting residents' stories of the disaster and its aftermath: the chaos and loss of the flood itself; the sense of community and leveling of social distinctions as people worked together to recover and regroup; and the local and national politics of foreign aid as the country began to rebuild. In The Golden Wave, Gamburd describes how the catastrophe changed social identities, economic dynamics, and political structures.

One does not expect to hear one's name bawled out in such a manner when one is taking a walk along the quay of Victoria, hong-kong. Such occurrences happen too seldom ever to have any chance of becoming monotonous. So, as I say, I turned sharp round, and there I saw an old college chum of mine who, last time I saw him, six years ago, was on the point of going up for his final examination in medicine.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: From many miles away in South Korea, Mee Sook ended up in the United States of America. She did not know what the future held for her. But with faith, hope, love, and courage she submitted to what the Creator had in store for her. She survived many ups and downs on her long journey: including learning a new language, adapting to a new culture, and struggling to find a job. She had so little to live on and lost most of her family members while she was so far away. But instead of dwelling on what seemed hard to bear, she continued to count her blessings. Some of her wonderful blessings include her husband, two sons, daughters-in-laws, and grandchildren. Many people who have met with Mee Sook affirm how blessed they are for having met such a positive person. She has written her autobiography to share her "golden wave", the term she uses to describe her life. I feel so blessed for the opportunity to help bring her story to the world.

Download or read book Epicentre to Aftermath written by Michael Hutt and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epicentre to Aftermath makes both empirical and conceptual contributions to the growing body of disaster studies literature by providing an analysis of a disaster aftermath that is steeped in the political and cultural complexities of its social and historical context. Drawing together scholars from a range of disciplines, the book highlights the political, historical, cultural, artistic, emotional, temporal, embodied and material dynamics at play in the earthquake aftermath. Crucially, it shows that the experience and meaning of a disaster are not given or inevitable, but are the outcome of situated human agency. The book suggests a whole new epistemology of disaster consequences and their meanings, and dramatically expands the field of knowledge relevant to understanding disasters and their outcomes.

Download or read book Disasters in World History written by Benjamin Reilly and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disasters in World History surveys the development of disaster studies as a discipline as well as presenting historical case studies and theories used by historians to understand disasters. Disasters, here defined as the complex interaction between natural hazards and specific human vulnerabilities, have frequently left a mark on human history. Cataclysms have toppled dynasties, fueled massacres, and shaped the culture of societies frequently affected by natural hazards. This volume fosters understanding of such events by considering both social science theory and the natural science concepts relevant to disaster studies. In addition, the text makes heavy use of an emerging psychological theory relevant to disaster studies: the behavioral immune system, which helps to explain why xenophobic behavior and even violence often erupt in the aftermath of disasters. Chapters consider specific examples of disasters: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, climate change (including modern anthropogenic climate change or global warming), and tropical cyclones. This book is an accessible resource, ideal for undergraduates and instructors in world history, environmental history, and disaster studies courses.
