For those who only read book titles, this book would seem to stake a claim to consider "disaster" as a sociological specially or, perhaps, for claiming <

There is a tradition of research in sociology which focuses on disasters which has used, in large part, standard sociological concepts to deal with a particular range of phenomena termed disaster. Those who work in that research tradition consider their effort as being within the larger sociological enterprise. In fact, for those who study disaster, it is the quintessential social event, not an atmospheric or geological aberration.

The book aims at assessing the contribution of sociology to the study of disasters and mass emergencies as a starting point for the widening of a debate in a field that, up to now, has been scarcely cross-culturally integrated and pursued predominantly by American scholars. The volume is appearing with the support of the Research Committee on Disasters of the International Sociological Association and is hopefully the first one in a series which aims at becoming a forum for international debate.
