摘要

This book discusses to what an extent all disasters should be deemed as tragedies. Basically, it is interesting to discuss why some events are framed as disasters, while others have simply been ignored or pushed to the dust of oblivion. This all-encompassing edition compiles study-cases authored by diverse scholars, with different points of view. Anyway 'the same core remains, it is very difficult to measure the effects of disasters according to the suffering they engendered. Many tragedies such as slavery, AIDS and epidemics have caused much pain in victims, but not just for this reason, we are authorized to call them "disasters". Why? Newton-Matza argues convincingly that as per the classical definition, disasters are events which inflicted a great sudden misfortune in the society. However, "hooligans" in football stadiums may provoke serious damages, even casualties, from one moment to others, and not just for this reason, this is a disaster. Although the book does not give a specific meaning for these terms, it poses some questions which can help readers to expand the current understanding of what a disaster is.
