Katastrophen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert. Befunde, Kontexte und Perspektiven.

The history of disasters is no longer a new area of research. In the last two decades several new studies have been published in contexts of environmental, cultural and social history. Yet most of these approaches did not draw much attention and remained in the shadow of their own fields. Therefore, this article focuses on the most recent studies and tries to examine their connectivity to broader areas of research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
