"One needs only read the first chapter of The Public Health Consequences of Disasters to understand how devastating disasters can really be...a reality check that is long overdue.... A much-needed catalogue of areas that require further investigation...outstanding job....The text is easy reading and seeks to present not only useful public-health issues, but also an overview of general disaster management, so that the reader has an understanding of the critical link between these two areas. Noji has magnificently compiled a most useful text that should be required reading for students of public-health and emergency and disaster managers alike."
