"""Sensing Disaster is an excellent book that offers a sympathetic and sophisticated introduction to the anthropology of disasters and indigenous knowledge and place-making, and would be invaluable as a teaching resource. The balance of theory and ethnography is highly engaging, making the book accessible to a larger audience outside the academy. . . . as the arguments in the book are highly relevant for (and should be reshaping) development and disaster practice across Oceania."" * Oceania * ""A welcome addition to studies of climate change impacts, IEK/TEK, and disaster studies, Sensing Disaster is ethnographically and empirically rich, and conceptually compelling. . . .a timely contribution."" * Anthropological Forum *"
