    This book elaborates on diverse dominant practices of masculinity in disasters and how this shapes recovery and resilience. Original studies in diverse environmental, hazard, and cultural contexts highlight the high costs paid by men emotionally, and how diverse forms of masculinities shape their efforts to respond and recover from disasters and to cope with extreme weather and other climate challenges. The final chapters demonstrate men¿s diverse strategies for challenging hierarchies in disasters, including around gender, sexuality, disability, age, and culture.

    This book examines climate hazards crises in contemporary Asia, identifying how hazards from the Middle East through South and Central Asia and China have the power to reshape our globalised world. By integrating human exposure to climate factors and disaster episodes, the book explores the environmental forces that drive disasters and their social implications. The chapters address several scales, hazard types (drought, flood, temperature, storms, dust), environments (desert, temperate, mountain, coastal) and issues (vulnerability, development, management, politics). It will be of interest to those working in Geography, Development Studies, Environmental Sciences and Political Science.
