A Review of “Agrarian Angst and Rural Resistance in Contemporary Southeast Asia”

seismic map (1627), the first theory of the earth’s structure (1664), and the creation of the European Geophysical Union (2002). The milestones presented are by no means comprehensive, are decidedly Eurocentric, and focus principally on advances prior to 1910, but the brief descriptions are informative and also provide even the casual reader with useful pieces of trivia. In the end though, the chronology does provide a researcher with an efficient timeline that will facilitate further historical work in the field. Although geographers have examined the human–environment relationships as expressed through art, the strength of this book is the authors’ emphasis on the evolution of the relevant science and the ways in which individual and shared knowledge of earth processes shape and reshape pictorial representations of natural disasters in place and over time. Consequently, Kozák and Čermák have provided an engaging work that will likely encourage new innovative and integrative investigations of human–environment relationships and how these relationships are embedded in culture landscape or representations of the landscape. As such, the book is a welcome and innovative addition to a science-centered Springer catalog that will be of use to art historians, geographers, and others interested in charting new and innovative research programs that seek to integrate the distinct worlds of science and art. In closing, I believe that this book will leave readers wondering how the history of natural disasters continues to evolve in a digital age where images of Hurricane Katrina, Haiti, Chile, and Iceland have served as catalysts for not only major public policy debates but increasingly important discussions of existing social structures. As such, the The Illustrated History of Natural Disasters would make an excellent addition to a university library, researcher’s private collection, or seminar syllabus.
