Abstract

"This book provides a detailed introduction to natural disasters and the ways in which they have had and continue to have, profound effects on human society. Natural Disasters: A Reference Handbook surveys the impact of these events on human civilization. The opening chapter provides a general history and background of the major types of natural disasters, including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, severe storms, and forest fires. The information presented in this introduction allows the reader to better understand current issues, problems, and solutions related to natural disasters discussed in subsequent chapters. The book covers the role of natural disasters in human life from earliest recorded history (and, to some extent, even earlier) to the present day. It provides an extensive variety of resources that encourage readers to learn more about the topics discussed. The book is intended for readers in the late middle school to high school age range, as well as adults who may have a special interest in the subject." -- Publisher's description.

Abstract

Grands ensembles, centres commerciaux, gratte-ciel, gated communities et « grands projets » sont les principaux dispositifs architecturalo-urbanistiques qui accompagnent l'accélération de l'urbanisation partout dans le monde. Emblématiques de la société productiviste et construits au nom du « progrès » et de la « marche de l'histoire », ces désastres urbains n'ont en réalité comme seule fonction que de rentabiliser des territoires désincarnés et interconnectés. Cette enquête montre – visites de bâtiments, romans, essais, films ou rapports officiels à l'appui – comment ils façonnent l'uniformisation des paysages urbains, amplifient les déséquilibres sociaux, économiques et écologiques et contribuent à l'enfermement et à l'assujettissement de leurs habitants. Sans compter qu'ils se combinent aujourd'hui aux catastrophes dites « naturelles » (ouragans, tsunamis, séismes, inondations…) pour créer une instabilité et une dangerosité sans équivalent historique. Ce livre combatif vise à fournir des outils critiques pour les contester et faire advenir dans un avenir proche des alternatives architecturales, des expérimentations urbaines et des modes de vie ouverts et émancipateurs. « Cet essai que tout élu devrait lire, est à la fois un “tournant” et un bilan dans le travail de Thierry Paquot, auteur de nombreux ouvrages sur l'architecture et l'urbanisme. » Le Monde des Livres
