What Reviewers Are Saying
This book is one of the most comprehensive texts on disaster and recovery available. This complete review and analysis of the elements of recovery is accessible, innovative, and thought-provoking.
-Pamela Jenkins, Professor Emerita, University of New Orleans
The second edition of Disaster Recovery lives up to my expectations with a mixture of theory and applications backed up with updated relevant case studies along with expanded concepts and sections. Phillip's background as a researcher and teacher is evident on a complicated topic with a well written, thorough and comprehensive book.
