„... an easy to read and interesting basic text that offers readerssignposts to many relevant websites and references... One of thegreatest strengths of the ABC of Conflict and Disaster isthe attention it pays to the psychological aspects of disaster andconflict recovery, an often overlooked aspect of humanitarianrelief work. The use of interesting and varied colour photographsthroughout the book also illustrates the horrors and reality ofthis specialist area.“
