This book exhorts scholars and disaster relief proponents to use evidence-based, methodical approaches when researching disasters, as opposed to the hasty and subjective accounts that have characterized much of the field to date. The author incisively articulates the significant challenges of disaster research, including difficulties in subject selection, data collection, and the need to isolate variables and control for extraneous influences.
