| Summary, etc |
On December 26 2004 a massive tsunami triggered by an underwater earthquake struck the coasts of Thailand Indonesia Sri Lanka and certain other countries along the Indian Ocean. With casualties as far away as Africa the aftermath was overwhelming: ships could be spotted miles inland; cars floated in the ocean; legions of the unidentified dead – an estimated 225 000 – were buried in mass graves; relief organizations struggled to reach rural areas and provide adequate aid for survivors. <br/><br/>Shortly after this disaster researchers from around the world travelled to the region’s most devastated areas observing and documenting the impact of the tsunami. ‘The Indian Ocean Tsunami: The Global Response to a Natural Disaster’ offers the first analysis of the response and recovery effort. Editors Pradyumna P. Karan and S. Subbiah employing an interdisciplinary approach have assembled an international team of top geographers geologists anthropologists and political scientists to study the environmental economic and political effects of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. <br/><br/>The volume includes chapters that address the tsunami’s geo-environmental impact on coastal ecosystems and groundwater systems. There are also other chapters that offer socio-cultural perspectives on religious power relations in South India and suggest ways to improve the government agencies’ response systems for natural disasters. <br/><br/>This book will be of interest to environmentalists and political scientists alike as well as to planners and administrators of disaster-preparedness programs. -- Publisher Website |
