Long considered ground zero for global climate change in the United States, Florida presents the perfect case study for disaster risk and prevention.

Building on the idea that disasters are produced by historical and contemporary social processes as well as natural phenomena, Amanda D.

Concha-Holmes and Anthony Oliver-Smith present a collection of ethnographic case studies that examine the social and environmental effects of Florida’s public and private sector development policies.
