Indeed, for anyone interested in these fields, as well as the cultural response to natural disasters, this book raises important questions as it explores expanding these discourses in a more complex direction. A well-written and fascinating study of the cultural perceptions that shape our sense of \"acts of God\" and \"natural disasters\", and what they reveal about our larger understanding of cities and nature and the desire to control nature.\u003c\/i\u003e (Laurel Kearns, Associate Professor of Sociology and Religion and Environmental Studies, Drew University, USA.)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Description\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe first study to show the great influence of religious language on how people perceive the relationship between cities and their environments.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRichard Bohannon teaches at the College of St. Benedict \u0026amp; St. John's University, in central Minnesota, USA.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct details\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ Bloomsbury Publishing \/ BLM ACADEMIC UK; 1st edition (1 May 2012)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ 208 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1441103570\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 9781441103574\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 15.6 x 2.27 x 23.39 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1000 Things Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50846612226369,"sku":"IF_C1A1D277","price":155.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1206\/9004\/files\/256555296138-0.jpg?v=1758765491","url":"https:\/\/1000things.com.au\/zh\/products\/public-religion-and-the-urban-environment-constructing-a-river-town-r-bohannon","provider":"1000 Things Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
