Description
A New Species of Trouble: The Human Experience of Modern Disasters by Kai Erikson is a thoughtful and compassionate work of social science nonfiction about the lasting impact of human-made disasters. Erikson examines how modern catastrophes differ from natural disasters, not only in their causes but in the deep and often long-term damage they leave behind in individuals, families, and communities.
Through vivid narrative and the words of those who lived through these events, Erikson explores how people respond when trust in society, government, safety, and ordinary life is shaken. The book looks closely at trauma, community disruption, uncertainty, and the emotional consequences of disasters caused by human action or failure.
A strong choice for readers interested in sociology, disaster studies, psychology, environmental risk, social history, trauma, and the human side of modern crisis.
