Re-imagining Risk and Disruption

Peter M. Weiske, Stephen Dovers, William J. Durch and John Handmer

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This timely book traces the common attributes of slow and fast-moving disruptions and disasters, from climate change and pandemics to increasingly crowded near-earth space and nuclear emergencies. It shows how these challenges form, coalesce and cross boundaries, and recommends preventative policies and action.
