In a world where natural disasters are on the rise, Professor Robert White and Reverend Doctor Roger Abbott bring together a variety of voices to explore how we respond, from both a practical and faith-lead viewpoint, to such tragedy.

Including the stories of the survivors themselves and those who work with them, this is essential reading for those looking to understand how we can deal with the fallout of seemingly chaotic cataclysms. The mixture of voices from responders and academics adds further depth to a difficult and oft-unexplored subject.
