Historical disaster research is still a young field. This book
discusses the experiences of natural disasters in different
cultures, from Europe across the Near East to Asia. It focuses on
the pre-industrial era and on the question of similarities,
differences and transcultural dynamics in the cultural handling of
natural disasters. Which long-lasting cultural patterns of
perception, interpretation and handling of disasters can be
determined? Have specific types of disasters changed the affected
societies? What have people learned from disasters and what not?
What adaptation and coping strategies existed? Which natural,
societal and economic parameters play a part? The book not only
reveals the historical depth of present practices, but also reveals
possible comparisons that show globalization processes,
entanglements and exchanges of ideas and practices in pre-modern
times.
