This book is a festschrift in tribute to Ben Wisner's contributions to disaster studies and adjacent fields of scholarship such as political ecology, development, and sustainability.

Ben Wisner is an activist scholar who finds himself tempted by nostalgia for the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, when he worked to understand and address disaster risk with civil society and local government in a number of countries in eastern and southern Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. In his eighties, he watches the autumn leaves turn colour, contemplates the cycle of life, death and rebirth, and wonders what impact his university teaching and publications have had. The warm southwest wind whispers the names of his many co-authors, co-editors and research partners. He is grateful for them all.

JC Gaillard is Ahorangi o te Matawhenua/Professor of Geography at Waipapa Taumata Rau/The University of Auckland. His work focuses on power and inclusion in disaster and disaster studies. It includes developing participatory tools for engaging minority groups in disaster risk reduction, with an emphasis on cultural and gender minorities, people in detention and children.

Ilan Kelman is Professor of Disasters and Health at University College London, England and Professor II at the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway. His overall research interest is linking disasters and health, integrating climate change into both. Three main areas are: (i) disaster diplomacy and health diplomacy; (ii) island sustainability focusing on safe and healthy living and livelihoods; and (iii) risk education for health and disasters.
