Floods and Drainage : British Policies for Hazard Reduction, Agricultural Improvement and Wetland Conservation PDF
by Edmund (Middlesex University, UK) Penning-Rowsell
Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Conservation series
Description
Originally published in 1986, Floods and Drainage advanced hazard – response theory as developed mainly by the White/Burton/Kates school of researchers in North America.
Based on fifteen years of research, the book rejects conventional theory’s emphasis on personal response to hazardous environments, suggesting that this seriously detracts from the institutional and political forces that are so important in the analysis of hazard responses and policies.
The book also seeks to provide material of practical relevance to environmental managers and engineers, rather than to present just research results.
