Index

"...an easy to read and interesting basic text that offers readers
signposts to many relevant websites and references...One of the
greatest strengths of the ABC of Conflict and Disaster is
the attention it pays to the psychological aspects of disaster and
conflict recovery, an often overlooked aspect of humanitarian
relief work. The use of interesting and varied colour photographs
throughout the book also illustrates the horrors and reality of
this specialist area."
