Disasters do not always come in the form of earthquakes, tornadoes, spewing volcanoes, droughts, floods, and snowstorms. These are the known ones, the acts of nature, for which we can prepare. This book opens up a new field in disaster research, namely disasters directly caused by mankind, or human-induced disasters. The book covers a broad spectrum of man-made disasters, from hazardous establishments that can explode, burn, or release toxic gases, to political corruption and incompetent leaders, rampant crime, and mass shootings. The book takes a closer look at risk exposure for humans, animals, vegetation species, and objects such as infrastructural assets and property. They are all vulnerable, in varying degrees, to the negative consequences of human-induced disasters. In addition to disaster vulnerability, related concepts such as resilience and coping capacity are explored. A new concept is also introduced, namely disaster sustainability, which is particularly applicable to human-induced disasters.

Roman and Elsbone were veteran animal trappers and hunters. They were warned by the Chalukyas tribesmen that the Devil Dogs were ferocious and did not fear man or any other animal. The hunters were experienced predators and huntsmen and knew that the wild beast that the tribesmen were leery of were just Himalayan tempestuous wolves. The Chalukyas tribesmen disclosed to the hunters that they had seen two Devil Dogs bring down a huge wild boar and tear it apart one evening at the base of the Mahila Mountains. It is known amongst hunters and wildlife individuals that no wild animal/beasts or man want any part of the violent desolate fierce boars; these Devil Dogs were fearsome and vicious. The major deciding factors that finally made the huntsmen want to seek and capture the wolves were these main issues: One, the Los Angeles zoo was offering a large amount of money for two legendary Devil Dogs from India. The second aspect was they heard that a single Devil Dog had fought and killed a Siberian Tiger; this factor increased their inquisitiveness and curiosity of this sensational beast and its folklore. Their egos also played a part in their judgment to capture the animals An element they had to contemplate and had caused them concern was that they were told that the beast only come out after the sun has set. Nightfall, this is an advantageous factor for the nighttime predator. So these beasts were nocturnal hunters; this was not an odd characteristic for any wolf, but still it was a concern for the hunters. All these tidbits of information just enticed Roman and Elsbone even more, and it heightened their hunting and ego desires. The two English veteran hunters were now traveling toward their prey and compensations as they were now heading toward the foothills of the snowcapped Himalayas, the hunting grounds of the Devil Dogs. The huntsmen eventually had left their regular and familiar stomping grounds of South Africa years earlier because of the civil turmoil that continues to cause chaos and havoc with many of the unsettled tribes and conformed city dwellers. The other object and issue was now there are all the new restrictions and hunting laws causing hardship on hunters and trappers, also there were the conservation laws protecting the wild beast limiting them even more. Elsbone and Roman left Africa and went and took their trade to South America. But after some time, they grew tired of the humid atmosphere, the different language, and customs along with the constant damp eerie rain forest. So now they were here in India following the harsh rumors of the ferocious wild Devil Dogs that killed cattle, pigs, and villagers and now they also heard even killed mountain lions. The hunters' journey did have some hardships. They needed to travel far through hot rough desolate deserts with very cold nights.

Una interessante "finestra" degli "Anni venti" attraversoL'opera religiosa patriottica ed umanitaria del Rev. Comm. Dr. Francesco GRASSI di Tricarico - Parroco della Chiesa di S Antonio - Bronx - New York CityPadre Grassi, fu idolatrato da tutti gli italiani di New York e dintorni,consumò la sua vita in un apostolato di carità, di pace, di rigenerazione morale e sociale. Fu un nome e un simbolo, una vivida fiaccola di fede e d'italianità nel cuore turbinoso di New York.Per spiegare questa sua popolarità bisogna ritornare indietro con gli anni e ricordare come erano considerati allora gli italiani nel mondo, "un sotto-popolo capace solo di far valere le proprie ragioni a punta di coltello" ! Fu in quel periodo dell'anteguerra, che questo pioniere, vero soldato di Cristo e della Patria, si consacrò completamente al ministero di carità, nell'assistenza agli emigrati.
