The focus of the book is on the necessity of studying vulnerability, risks, and complexity as expressions of the impact that global change has on human habitats. These include not only climate and hazard impacts but also new socio-demographic trends and regional economic developments that influence people's quality of life and their capacities to cope with global change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hogrefe \u0026 Huber Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033734332656,"sku":"9780889374355","price":94.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780889374355_p0.jpg?v=1763866400","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780889374355","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
