At Risk

Natural hazards, people's vulnerability and disasters 2nd Ed

Ben Wisner, Piers Blaikie, Terry Cannon & Ian Davis

If you want one book to get you through the disaster management degree then this is probably going to be it! Revised to be even more of a killer resource, this book explores the very concept of risk and the emergence of disasters using a unique pressure-release model. It can take a lot of commitment to trawl through these pages, but it is worth it because you will have an enormous advantage if you do.
