During a devastating nineteenth-century cholera outbreak, English physician John Snow proved that the deadly disease could hide in a drop of water. In the twentieth century, burgeoning cities would subdue cholera and typhoid by building massive filtration plants and bubbling poisonous gas through their drinking water. But in the new millennium, the demon of waterborne disease is threatening to reemerge, and the results could be catastrophic. In this fascinating, sobering account, Dr. Robert Morris depicts the epidemics that have shaken nations, celebrates the scientists who reached into the invisible and ultimately saved millions of lives, and sounds a timely warning we dare not ignore about the natural and man-made hazards present in the… [cont.]

Naomi Klein`s controversial best-selling book which explores how both natural and man-made disasters are used to force disadvantageous political and economic changes on unwilling governments is brought to the screen in this documentary from filmmakers Michael Winterbottom and Mat Whitecross. Using electroshock treatment as a metaphor -- a harsh jolt to the body and brain that, after being embraced as a healing method, was in turn discovered to cause more harm than good -- the shock doctrine explores how the United States, with the help of the CIA, became enamored of Milton Friedman`s interpretation of free-market capitalism and attempted to persuade developing nations of its value. However, since fully unregulated markets tended to create… [cont.]

The latter concerns both the permanently fixed structures, such as those built to protect the people and/or sensitive storage material (eg military installations) or the special structures found in transportation systems (eg bridges, tunnels), and the moving structures (such as trains, plains, ships or cars).

Man-made hazards or disasters are sometimes referred to as anthropogenic.
