Reviews
<i>Superstorm Sandy</i> provides a vivid description and wide-ranging explanation of that huge storm's impact on Americans. It is a 'must read' as we prepare for future storms in coastal America. --Tom Rudel Rutgers University
In examining the roots of New Jersey's storm response, Bates tracks historical data sets, including ethnic migrations and the rise of casinos, to provide a framework for the community-level response to Sandy. The result is a comprehensive view of the entire state from its foundation to the modern day. While the book is useful as an examination of the roots of the federal, state, and local reaction to Sandy, it could almost stand alone as a quick socioeconomic history of the entire state of New Jersey ... Highly recommended for policymakers, local governments, and active citizens working in any disaster-prone coastal area. --Foreword Reviews Bates has written a comprehensive analysis of the New Jersey shore and the impact of Superstorm Sandy ... Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. --CHOICE The Trouble with Sandy: An Interview with Diane C. Bates [http: //goo.gl/KIiBbm]--TCNJ magazine Bates' work offers a critical intervention in the burgeoning and evolving field of disaster studies, convincingly advocating for a sociological investigation into the relationship between environmental forces and human agency. --New Jersey Studies Superstorm Sandy provides a vivid description and wide-ranging explanation of that huge storm's impact on Americans. It is a 'must read' as we prepare for future storms in coastal America. --Tom Rudel Rutgers University An engaging, well-crafted addition to the literature on the sociology of disasters in the face of climate change, Superstorm Sandy provides an impressively clear exploration of the events surrounding the hurricane. Readers can feel themselves walking down the boardwalk alongside the author and worrying alongside the residents. --Kari Marie Norgaard author of Living in Denial: Climate Change, Emotions, and Everyday Life
