Beschreibung:
David Chester is a graduate of the universities of Durham and Aberdeen and for more than four decades has carried out research on disasters, especially those produced by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. He retired as a Professor of Environmental Sciences at Liverpool Hope University in 2020, having previously worked at the University of Liverpool where he is currently a Senior Fellow. David Chester is also an ordained priest in the Anglican (i.e. Episcopalian) Church.
This book argues that, although secular and religious perspectives on disasters have often conflicted, today there are grounds for believing that the world's major faiths have much to contribute to the processes of post-disaster recovery and future disaster risk reduction (DRR).
