About this title

Synopsis

"Poor people living in slums are at particularly high risk from the impacts of climate change and natural hazards. They live on the most vulnerable lands within cities, typically areas that are deemed undesirable by others and are thus affordable. Residents are exposed to the impacts of landslides, sea-level rise, flooding, and other hazards. Exposure to risk is exacerbated by overcrowded living conditions, lack of adequate infrastructure and services, unsafe housing, inadequate nutrition, and poor health. These conditions can turn a natural hazard or change in climate into a disaster, and result in the loss of basic services, damage or destruction to homes, loss of livelihoods, malnutrition, disease, disability, and loss of life.

Shipping Terms

Orders are shipped every working day, by Royal Mail, from rural West Wales in the UK.

(Because my Royal Mail collection is in the morning, shipments are usually a day in hand.)

Delivery dates quoted by ABE do not allow for non-working days so shipments over a week-end or Bank Holiday may take longer than they say.

UK Orders

Standard shippimg is by Royal Mail Second Class and is free of charge, regardless of weight. Allow at least 4 working days.
Priority Shipping is by Royal Mail First Class Recorded Delivery. Extra charge �2.95 Allow working 3 days, (hopefully only 2). Signature required on delivery.

Orders to EU countries

All shipments into the European Union are by Royal Mail International Standard and are accompanied by electronic Customs/tax data (IOSS)

All shipments to USA are now sent import duty paid by Standard Airmail (not tracked). Import duty will be passed on as an extra charge - however, at present (Jan 26) no import duty is being charged. Priority Shipping is by Royal Mail International Tracked. Allow 10 days for either tarif
