Hi Ilan,
Good news - I now have advance copies of the Routledge Book - they've done
a good job on cover design. Hopefully you will receive copies and book
tokens in the not too distant future (fingers crossed).
On the subject of your island gateway site. If you think it useful I'm
happy to offer a www link to a summary of my Caribbean research. The site
is http://www.id21.org/society/5amp1.html and the piece is entitled:
Shoring up against hard times: social vulnerability and environmental
hazard in the Caribbean
You might want to add that the full research findings are coming out in
March 2003 in a monograph 'The vulnerability of cities: social resilience
and natural disasters' by Earthscan: London.
I hope this is useful.
Mark
