Inventing Disaster: The Culture of Calamity from the Jamestown Colony to the Johnstown Flood
Cynthia A. Kierner
When hurricanes, earthquakes, wildfires, and other disasters strike, we count our losses, search for causes, commiserate with victims, and initiate relief efforts. Amply illustrated and expansively researched, Inventing Disaster explains the origins and development of this predictable, even ritualized, culture of calamity over three centuries.
