内容説明
Introduction to International Disaster Management, Second Edition continues to serve as the sole comprehensive overview of global emergency management. This second edition contains updated information on disaster trends as well as on management structures and advancements around the world.
Coppola includes changes that reflect the dual theme of the book: universal principles of global emergency management practice and advances in the field worldwide, and lessons from disasters and other watershed events that have occurred since the first edition was published. This text includes new case studies and updated disaster, risk, and vulnerability data, as well as insightful discussions of recent national and international initiatives, and of progress towards improving non-governmental organization (NGO) and private sector cooperation and professionalism. This text approaches the practice of emergency management from a global perspective, making it the only introductory book without bias towards the emergency management system or history of a single country or region.
* Data, discussions, and outcomes for recent major and catastrophic disasters including Cyclone Nargis, earthquakes in Yogyakarta, China, Pakistan, and Chile, the H1N1 pandemic, and the tsunami in American Samoa * Added material on hazards, catastrophic risk management, mitigation, and disaster myths * Expanded sections on public disaster preparedness and disaster recovery best practices * Commentary on the latest research in disaster management and policy studies

Serious Citation Flaws
2012/3/23
形式:ハードカバー
This book has serious flaws in its citations and references. I do not recommend it for anyone in academia.
I am a librarian/cataloger for Malcolm X College Library. While cataloging this book, I found some serious flaws that make me concerned about the reliability of this book and the review process.
In just a random flipping through the pages I noticed a chart on page 99 with "Wikipedia" listed as a source. First using "Wikipedia" as a source in an academic book or paper is forbidden. We teach our students to use all the tools to discover information, but no teacher will allow a quote from "Wikipedia." The chart on page is for maritime disasters. It includes ships that were sunk because of an act of war. I would not call that an accident. If one checks the full reference in the back of the chapter on page 137, the author claims the title of the article checked was "List of epidemics" Maritime disasters are not epidemics. When I checked the Wikipedia article on maritime disasters, I found many discrepancies between what is in the book and what is in the article.
I did not review all the sources in this book; one bad one is enough for me to put this book on the not recommended list. In general the citations in this book are imprecise and possibly wrong. Mr. Coppola does not have the correct author citation format in most of the citations. I don't even need to check to know he is mistaken. "n.d." meaning "no date" is not acceptable for a citation. One can always make an educated guess for a date. Since web sites can change at any given moment, it is important to include a date of retrieval. It is always better to use stable sources so that the reader can do his/her own checking or follow up.
