Reviews

'This comprehensive handbook breaks critically important new ground. The five primary sections of the book offer a novel integrative framework for synthesizing the areas of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The result is both a practical guide and an intellectually ambitious project for turning knowledge into action. This handbook should be on the bookshelf of every person who needs a set of guiding policy principles for reducing the rising toll of disasters.' Professor Lori Peek, Department of Sociology, Director of Natural Hazards Center, University of Colorado - Boulder, USA 'This handbook is especially helpful for our research institution in developing sound research design on disaster related topic. It enlightens us with the clear definition in disaster related topics that are usually misunderstood (e.g. vulnerability, resilience, risk) and how to measure them. Thus, with this handbook, we can update our research methodology to the international standard and subsequently gets updated of the current issues on disaster and climate changes such as human rights and gender. This volume is a good investment for those who do research or consultancies in disaster related studies as it is equipped with science proof methods to measure complex indicators such as resilience and sustainability. The book is definitely a mitigation measure to research failures!' Elisabeth Rianawati, Director, Resilience Development Initiative (RDI), www.rdi.or.id, Indonesia
