What causes one system to break down and another to rebound? Are we
merely subject to the whim of forces beyond our control? Or, in the
face of constant disruption, can we build better shock
absorbers--for ourselves, our communities, our economies, and for
the planet as a whole?
Reporting firsthand from the coral reefs of Palau to the back
streets of Palestine, Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy relate
breakthrough scientific discoveries, pioneering social and
ecological innovations, and important new approaches to
constructing a more resilient world. Zolli and Healy show how this
new concept of resilience is a powerful lens through which we can
assess major issues afresh: from business planning to social
develop-ment, from urban planning to national energy
security--circumstances that affect us all.
Provocative, optimistic, and eye-opening, Resilience sheds light on
why some systems, people, and communities fall apart in the face of
disruption and, ultimately, how they can learn to bounce back.
