Handbook of Disaster Studies in Japan

Handbook of Disaster Studies in Japan by Paola Cavaliere is a Science title available in hardback book format. This volume is a critical interrogation of the concept, meaning and experience of disaster in 21st-century Japan. Throughout the chapters, a central theme and guiding theoretical perspective is the recognition of the human element in disasters. The evolution of disaster studies in Japan over the past three decades—and the contextual disaster policy changes and societal processes—shows that the empirical terrain for studying disasters is changing, animating the high interest in the sociology of disaster as an interdisciplinary field.

Ideal for readers interested in science.
