This was also very personal to the author's own life - she was very open about her many miscarriages and her relationship with her husband. Nonetheless, Easthope emerges as a likable, quietly stoical and ultimately heroic character who has endured her own hardships and whose instinctive empathy and compassion make a tangible difference to the lives of people at their most vulnerable. She has been involved in just about every UK and global disaster where UK residents are involved since 2001, starting with 911.

It also takes a look at other major disasters including 9/11, MH370 and the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004. It is not always what you might think, and assumptions can and do lead to further smaller tragedies. And that is the underpinning of the book - that these may be unimaginable catastrophes - but ultimately they have very individual and human consequences.Lucy’s work and calm resolve has helped me to make sense of my anger and frustration at the war on dissent and the moralizing and stigma, but she has helped me personally more than she will ever know. But despite the dark and depressing stories contained this book there is also incredible hope, optimism and humour.

I feel relieved that there are people like Easthope out there, thinking of worst-case scenarios, advising people who might be in great emotional turmoil. Really enjoyed the audiobook as the author has a good reading voice and you can hear her emotions and professionalism as she covers the disasters sensitively.As one of the world's leading experts on disaster she has been at the centre of the most seismic events of.

She takes us behind the police tape to scenes of destruction and chaos, introducing us to victims and their families, but also to the government briefing rooms and bunkers. In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money. It reminded me of a bee that my father had in his bonnet - he always used to say that it was a major mistake to disband the Civil Defence Units after the war. She has dealt with almost every major disaster in the last 20 years, from 9/11 to the pandemic, and has even had first hand experience of some events, like the 7/7 bombings and the Alton Towers crash.Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle.
