The authors explore the contested terrain of risk and disaster, challenging the reader through diverse, and at times disruptive, perspectives and analysis. Unusually for material on this subject, I found the book very accessible. It deserves to be widely read and I expect it to have significant influence on thinking and policy. The volume is also a wonderful tribute to Professor Helen James. \u003c\/p\u003e -- \u003cb\u003eEmeritus Professor John Handmer\u003c\/b\u003e, FASSA, Senior Research Scholar, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), Vienna \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploration of the complexity of disasters in a multi-hazard context is crucial to improving future disaster resilience.
