Download or read book At Risk written by Piers Blaikie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term 'natural disaster' is often used to refer to natural events such as earthquakes, hurricanes or floods. However, the phrase 'natural disaster' suggests an uncritical acceptance of a deeply engrained ideological and cultural myth. At Risk questions this myth and argues that extreme natural events are not disasters until a vulnerable group of people is exposed. The updated new edition confronts a further ten years of ever more expensive and deadly disasters and discusses disaster not as an aberration, but as a signal failure of mainstream 'development'. Two analytical models are provided as tools for understanding vulnerability. One links remote and distant 'root causes' to 'unsafe conditions' in a 'progression of vulnerability'. The other uses the concepts of 'access' and 'livelihood' to understand why some households are more vulnerable than others. Examining key natural events and incorporating strategies to create a safer world, this revised edition is an important resource for those involved in the fields of environment and development studies.

Book Synopsis Michael Jackson: The Real Story by : Dieter Wiesner
Download or read book Michael Jackson: The Real Story written by Dieter Wiesner and published by KingDoMedia. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not your typical eBook. In this enhanced eBook you are about to experience Michael Jackson in a way that he has never been presented before. As he really was. Best of all you will be able to click a button and hear for yourself numerous voicemail messages that spell out, in detail, some of his visionary business plans he had for the second phase of his life, including his desire and plan to purchase Marvel Comic's catalog. “You were with him for a long time. You need to tell the story! You need to tell the real story about my son!” Inspired by these words from Michael Jackson’s mother, Katherine Jackson, former manager, confidant, and personal friend Dieter Wiesner’s newly released enhanced ePub, “Michael Jackson The Real Story: An Interactive Look Into Michael Jackson’s Visionary Business and Human Side,” does just that. Influenced by a sense of obligation, Mr. Wiesner shares intimate information about Michael Jackson the business genius and the loving father and family man. The book’s author, Dieter Wiesner was inseparable from Michael during the 80-concert, five continent HIStory world tour. After the tour, Dieter lived with Michael and his children for several years at the legendary Neverland Ranch. Having already influenced a generation of entertainers through song and dance, in the year 2000, Michael Jackson was facing a radical change in his life and work and shared his top-secret intentions, plans, and vision for the second phase of his life with Mr. Wiesner. Had Michael Jackson been left alone to execute the visionary purchases and partnerships he desired, including Marvel Comics and Disney among others, he would have undoubtedly been one of the wealthiest people in the world. Readers will get to know Michael Jackson the human being in a much deeper way — the Michael that few got to know and appreciate.
