Recovery from Disaster
Disasters can dominate newspaper headlines and fill our TV screens with relief appeals, but the complex long-term challenge of recovery—providing shelter, rebuilding safe dwellings, restoring livelihoods and shattered lives—generally fails to attract the attention of the public and most agencies. On average 650 disasters occur each year. They affect more than 200 million people and cause $166 trillion of damage. Climate change, population growth and urbanisation are likely to intensify further the impact of natural disasters and add to reconstruction needs. Recovery from Disaster explores the field and provides a concise, comprehensive source of knowledge for academics, planners, archite...
Dark Messiah
After the nuclear holocaust was over, the real killing began. Phoenix was a survivor, an expert with any weapon, a master at hand-to-hand combat. He forged his way across what was left of the U.S., driven by hatred and thirsting for revenge against the supreme ruler of an almost extinct world--Dark Messiah.

In the Cube
A century from now, Boston is like no other place on Earth: an enormous Cube containing millions of human and alien beings. Boston is slowly sinking, but it's also the site of Earth's only interstellar port-a gateway that has brought dozens of extraterrestrial races to the Cube. Beverly O'Meara is a private detective, a finder of lost people and things. Akktry, her partner, is a small, sharp-clawed animal that has an inhuman affinity with the past, able to recreate the history of any place or person from the remains of the present. A useful talent for a detective... Especially since the most powerful-and hated-woman in the Cube has hired Beverly to track down her missing daughter. Especially since Diana Sherwood's trail leads straight into the Basement, the oldest, lowest, most dangerous part of Boston. The part below sea level. The part you can down in... "In the Cube is David Alexander Smith's best book.... Not only do his humans live and breathe, but he has drawn some of the strangest and most convincing aliens you'll ever meet." -Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award-winning author James Patrick Kelly
