This book examines the dangers and the patterns of adaptation that
emerge through exposure to risk on a daily basis. By addressing the
influence of environmental factors in Indian Ocean World history,
the collection reaches across the boundaries of the natural and
social sciences, presenting case-studies that deal with a diverse
range of natural hazards - fire in Madagascar, drought in India,
cyclones and typhoons in Oman, Australia and the Philippines,
climatic variability, storms and flood in Vietnam and the
Philippines, and volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis in
Indonesia. These chapters, written by leading international
historians, respond to a growing need to understand the ways in
which natural hazards shape social, economic and political
development of the Indian Ocean World, a region of the globe that
is highly susceptible to the impacts of seismic activity, extreme
weather, and climate change.
