Employing a psychoanalytic and genealogical lens, it examines how we remember natural disasters by analyzing the strategies employed to prevent them. The book traces the evolution of predictive modeling methods alongside some of the most devastating natural disasters in US history. From miniature physical scale models to cartographic renderings within the emerging field of statistical science to increasingly intricate simulation scenarios, disaster science has long created imagined versions of catastrophic events in an attempt to prevent them. Through an exploration of these hypothetical disasters, the book theorizes how science itself becomes a site of public memory, a crucial consideration in a world characterized by changing weather patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 445g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 239 x 160 x 17 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666938937\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeremy R.
