Description
Summary:As it swept across the Honduran landscape, the exceptional size, power and duration of Hurricane Mitch devastated the already diminished economic, social, and environmental conditions of the population. In the aftermath, a group of seven socio-environmental scientists set out to investigate the root causes of the heightened vulnerability that characterized pre-Mitch Honduras, the impact of the catastrophe on the local society, and the subsequent recovery efforts. This volume presents the findings of their investigation.
