The author of Men Explain Things to Me explores the moments of altruism and generosity that arise in the aftermath of disaster Why is it that in the aftermath of a disaster? whether manmade or natural?people suddenly become altruistic, resourceful, and brave? What makes the newfound communities and purpose many find in the ruins and crises after disaster so joyous? And what does this joy reveal about ordinarily unmet social desires and possibilities? In A Paradise Built in Hell, award-winning author Rebecca Solnit explores these phenomena, looking at major calamities from the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco through the 1917 explosion that tore up Halifax, Nova Scotia, the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. She examines how disaster throws people into a temporary utopia of changed states of mind and social possibilities, as well as looking at the cost of the widespread myths and rarer real cases of social deterioration during crisis. This is a timely and important book from an acclaimed author whose work consistently locates unseen patterns and meanings in broad cultural histories.

There is No Such Thing as a Natural Disaster is the first comprehensive critical book on the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleans. The disaster will go down on record as one of the worst in American history, not least because of the government’s inept and cavalier response. But it is also a huge story for other reasons; the impact of the hurricane was uneven, and race and class were deeply implicated in the unevenness. Hartman and. Squires assemble two dozen critical scholars and activists who present a multifaceted portrait of the social implications of the disaster. The book covers the response to the disaster and the roles that race and class played, its impact on housing and redevelopment, the historical context of urban disasters in America and the future of economic development in the region. It offers strategic guidance for key actors - government agencies, financial institutions, neighbourhood organizations - in efforts to rebuild shattered communities.

“8 Easy Steps to Disaster Prepping” is a survival book detailing eight simple steps to prepare for any short-term disaster. This book includes tips and suggestions to help the newbie get started in creating a solid prepping base that can eventually be built into a more long-term plan. The 8 steps are nicely detailed throughout the book and it includes the author’s own personal Disaster Prepping List that readers can use as a template to tweak as they create their own versions of it. Tanyard Whitebloom is not new to survival prepping. In this introduction he admits, “I started this book not knowing that I was actually writing one. As I spoke to several friends about prepping, they all replied, “I know I have to do that, but I just don’t know where to start!” So I thought I would write down a few survival tips for them. Those tips ended up being several pages long and the basis for this book. I guess I know so much about prepping because I have been interested in survival planning since before it was really popular. This comes from the fact that I have been in just about every type of natural disaster since I was a kid.” In this book Whitebloom urges everyone to “start somewhere” and begin to prepare with simple survival plans for disaster. There are several scenarios Whitebloom mentions in this book for which to prep. These include Survival plans for economic collapse, prepping for floods, prepping for earthquakes, prepping for blackouts, prepping for hurricanes, prepping for tornadoes, and prepping for civil unrest. Whitebloom’s eight steps can be applied to them all.
