Extremereignis 'Kältewinter' im 18. Jahrhundert, Gebunden

Klappentext

The investigation of catastrophes from a historical perspective using highly interdisciplinary approaches is now a very dynamic field of research. History, archaeology, social anthropology, sociology, literary studies, philosophy, theology, climatology and geography are just some of the disciplines making vital contributions. Together they seek to understand how past and present societies have perceived, interpreted, coped with and remembered extreme events and what kinds of long-term adaptation strategies have been developed. Methodological considerations on the nature of hazards, risk, vulnerability and resilience are key issues as well. This series is open for publications in both German and English and focuses on monographs (including printed versions of excellent dissertations and theses) as well as edited volumes.
