| description |
This monograph provides an overview of research into disasters from
a historical perspective, making two new contributions. First, it introduces
the field of ‘disaster studies’ to history, showing how we can use
history to better understand how societies deal with shocks and hazards
and their potentially disastrous outcomes. Second, we introduce historians to the topic of disasters and the field of disaster studies, and explicitly show the relevance of studying past disasters
to better understand the social, economic, and political functioning
of past societies.
