The Handbook provides a comprehensive statement and reference point for hazard and disaster research, policy making, and practice in an international and multi-disciplinary context. It offers critical reviews and appraisals of current state of the art and future development of conceptual, theoretical and practical approaches as well as empirical knowledge and available tools. Organised into five inter-related sections, this Handbook contains sixty-five contributions from leading scholars. Section One situates hazards and disasters in their broad political, cultural, economic, and environmental context. Section Two contains treatments of potentially damaging natural events/phenomena organized by major earth system. Section Three critically reviews progress in responding to disasters including warning, relief and recovery. Section Four addresses mitigation of potential loss and prevention of disasters under two sub-headings: governance, advocacy and self-help, and communication and participation. Section Five ends with a concluding chapter by the editors.

This book traces the trajectory of John J. McDermott's philosophical career through a selection of his essays. Many were originally occasional pieces and address specific issues in American thought and culture. Together they constitute a map of McDermott's philosophy, showing its roots in an American conception of experience. Though he draws heavily on the thought of William James and the pragmatists, McDermott has his own unique perspective on philosophy and American life. He presents this to the reader in exquisitely crafted prose. Drawing inspiration from American history, from existentialist themes, and from personal experiences, he offers a dramatic consideration of our cultures failures and successes.

We begin by stressing that relevant and adequate information is an essential ingredient of efficient decision-making processes aimed at optimising the performance of livestock enterprises. Such decisions are universally made, so that though different approaches may be required, animal health and production monitoring (HPM) is as important in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) as it is in livestock systems in other parts of the world. To set the scene for our discussion of HPM in SSA, we broadly describe the main African production systems in tabular form, categorised by ecological conditions, production goals and input and output relations within a broad farming systems context. Subsequently, the scope and diversity of HPM in SSA is reviewed. This review reveals that in 2 decades of system monitoring, a wide variety of objectives have been tackled from broad system description and constraint diagnosis to more focused research to identify and quantify the impact of disease and other specific factors on the productivity of cattle and small ruminants. There have been many monitoring clients, ranging from national governments through aid agencies and the scientific community, to individual farmers. To serve these diverse clients and their objectives, a plethora of methods and data collection techniques have evolved, monitoring needs of two contrasting production systems (pastoralists in the arid and semi-arid zones and smallholder dairy farmers in the highlands of East Africa) to indicate how monitoring has contributed to our understanding of these systems and how monitoring might be better targeted to satisfy future needs. The impact of HPM on the `state of the knowledge' of traditional African production systems are then summarised at two levels. The first includes specific health and productivity information gained while the second considers the more general lessons learned with respect to livestock enterprise functions and their impact on human welfare. Finally, future monitoring needs are discussed relative to changes in African livestock systems. It is anticipated that further specialisation and intensification of livestock enterprises will require decision-support systems, many of which already exist in the developed world and could be adapted to SSA.

This book draws together chapters by leading global experts to explore the complex relationship between food security and sociopolitical stability up to roughly 2025. It offers new insights building on lessons learned since the 2008 and 2011 global food price spikes sparked political unrest that toppled multiple governments and spurred a global land rush unlike any seen since the nineteenth century. The volume opens with three broad background papers that discuss the full sweep of the topic and likely scenarios over the coming decade for the global food economy and climate patterns relevant to food production. These chapters are followed by a group of thematic papers, cutting across major world regions to look at core stressors or responses: the policies, technologies, and key resource inputs of the global food system. The last set of chapters explore the political economy of food security strategies in key developing countries and regions. These chapters explore how emerging market firms and governments might attempt to satisfy growth in domestic food demand in the face of various global stressors, through a range of labor, land, technology, trade, water, and related actions or policies, as well as which sociopolitical instability risks might be associated with those strategies.
