This book provides the first extensive examination and analysis of the use of the urbanscape during the disaster process, by connecting its elements throughout disaster phases: the pre-disaster phase, consisting of reduction in form of prevention and mitigation; the disaster event phase, consisting of the disaster impact followed by the disaster effects; and the post-disaster phase, consisting of the post-disaster recovery. This work includes the analysis of 18 disaster case studies worldwide, of which 12 case studies are within the natural and 6 case studies within the man-made disaster category. The criteria for choosing these examples is based on the division into natural and man-made disaster subcategories and the period of their occurrence, from 1991 to 2021. The main purpose of this comparative analysis is to reveal the use of the urbanscape during the disaster process, through the role of its open public spaces during each disaster phase in both natural and man-made disastercategories. The book is a useful read for researchers and students of disaster management.

This book primarily examines human-animal and human-plant interactions in Asian forests (Southeast Asiäand Japan) and inland waters (China). For comparison, cases from the Americas (whales in the Arctic, sea turtles in the Caribbean, and plants in the Amazon) and Central Asia are also included. The relationship between plants, animals, and humans in Asia is quite unique from a global perspective. For example, "satoyama" in Japan means ecotone area, or the boundary between a village and a forest. There, as the number of inhabitants declines, bears, wild boars, and other animals increasingly ravage crops, sometimes attacking humans as well.By showing the regional nature of human-animal and human-plant interactions in Asia, this book provides for the first time a framework for understanding the world's animal and plant-human relationships. It is assumed that the relationships between humans and animals and plants during this period were diverse, including hunting, taming, semi-domestication, and full domestication. At the same time, for regions outside of Asia, the extent to which these diverse relationships were adapted and how diversity was formed is explained from the perspective of historical ecology.Customers can expect to derive perspectives on the coexistence of human-animal and plant-animal relationships from this book in the near future.The conservation of rare species, diverse habitats, and biodiversity is a central theme in considering the relationship between modern civilization and the global environment. In post-industrial Japan, one focus has been the protection of iconic animals such as storks, crested ibis, dugongs, and sea turtles, while damage to crops and humans by deer, wild boars, monkeys, bears, and other common animals has become an important social issue. How can the world's 7.7 billion-plus people live in harmony with other species? We would like to get some hints on how to solve the problems we are facing.

Der Versuch einer Tochter, am Erbe der Mutter nicht zu ersticken Als Marlen Hobrack sich daranmacht, den Nachlass ihrer Mutter zu bewältigen, winkt ihr kein Einfamilienhäuschen, keine hübsche Altbauwohnung. Sondern ein Berg von Schulden und Dingen, die am Lebensende einer Arbeiterin bleiben: Steppdecken, Vitaminpräparate, Putzmittel, Fotos. Wie in Chiffren hat sich ihre Mutter in sie eingeschrieben. Analytisch und radikal ehrlich legt Marlen Hobrack die Tiefenschichten ihrer Mutter frei - auch in sich selbst - und stellt gesellschaftliche Fragen, die uns alle betreffen: Was verraten die Dinge, die Menschen horten, über das, was sie im Leben wirklich brauchen?

Ein Verrat an der Ikone der Mutter und an den Ikonen der Konsumgüter, die uns ein Leben lang begleiten - um uns nach unserem Tod auf gemeinste Weise bloßzustellen.
