Rezensionen

"This book will prove to be an important resource for scholars and practitioners alike. Scholars trying to understand the complexity of post-disaster recovery will derive great insights from the book, and the practitioners would be warned of the pitfalls of an inadequately conceived and hurried reconstruction programe." (Kamal Kishore, Current Science, Vol. 116 (9), 2019)
