Confronting the social inequalities revealed by these disasters, we must also acknowledge how the complete lack of preparation for climate change and pandemics has shifted these threats from old-fashioned isolated disasters into constant modern risks. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis second edition presents four new chapters about disaster-as-risk, focusing on climate change; more intense confrontation by the elements of earth, air, fire and water; the COVID-19 pandemic; and innocent victims and refugees. Now more than ever, we need good and just moral principles to guide us through the disruptive crises ahead. Where standard ethical frameworks and government action fail to address new issues and guide just choices, humanism and humanitarianism become vital for deciding what we owe innocent victims and climate refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining moral philosophy, political theory, public policy, and environmental science, Ethics for Disaster presents new ways to think about changes in the world we all share.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the Second Edition and Acknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the Paperback Edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the First Edition and Acknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBook Introduction and Overview of parts and chapters\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Ethics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisaster Planning: Is Saving the Greatest Number Best?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifeboat Ethics and Disaster: Should We Blow Up the Fat Man?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVirtues for Disaster: Mitch Rapp and Ernest Shackleton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Politics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Social Contract: Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Art Spiegelman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublic Policy: Snakes on a Plane, Fire in the Pentagon, and Disaster Rights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Disadvantaged and Disaster: Hurricane Katrina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: The New Disaster-as-Risk World \u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClimate Change: Understanding the basics, including economics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarth, Air, Fire, and Water: The elements of disaster \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCOVID-19 and Minorities: How the worse-off fare worst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnocent victims and refugees: Moral and Practical questions \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: A Code of Ethics for Disaster, its Implications, and the Global Water Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePostscript to 2nd edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePostscript to the 1st edition\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelect Bibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041254375767,"sku":"9781538179659","price":27.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538179659.jpg?v=1750949531","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/ethics-for-disaster-9781538179659","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
