      abstract = {In this book natural scientists, engineers, physicians as  well as historians and social scientists define and  describe geo-hazards and associated technical disasters,  natural disasters as a business case, medicine and its  catastrophes as well as after war aspects of the Shoah, and  the ́catastrophé for Palestinians related to the  happiness of Jews celebrating their new State of Israel.  Scientific disciplines have their own view on catastrophes.  In this book they discuss Gershom Scholeḿs Concept of  Jewish Totality and describe the situation of Displaced  Persons in Germany as well as the Nakba in 1948. They  evaluate risk and opportunities from the insurance  viewpoint and remind us of Hamburǵs Flood Disaster in 1962  as well as the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011. The  book also includes other historical catastrophes in Japan,  the Lisbon earthquake in 1755 and the Age of Enlightenment,  and the eruption of the Tambora in 1815 followed by 'The  year without summer'.},
