This book presents a vivid picture of extreme events and how different parties involved in the recovery process contextualize them. * Arthur D. Murphy, University of North Carolina at Greensboro This book will be read and read again. I intend to use it in my course, 'Disaster, Self, and Society,' and I suspect others, both sociologists and anthropologists, will assign it to their respective classes. Moreover, it will be read by scholars, enriching their understanding of mayhem. Well done. * Steve Kroll-Smith, University of North Carolina at Greensboro
