Preparation and Restoration is the second volume of Resilience
Engineering Perspectives within the Ashgate Studies in Resilience
Engineering series. In four sections, it broadens participation of
the field to include policy and organization studies, and
articulates aspects of resilience beyond initial definitions: -
Policy and Organization explores public policy and organizational
aspects of resilience and how they aid or inhibit preparation and
restoration - Models and Measures addresses thoughts on ways to
measure resilience and model systems to detect desirable, and
undesirable, results - Elements and Traits examines features of
systems and how they affect the ability to prepare for and recover
from significant challenges - Applications and Implications
examines how resilience plays out in the living laboratory of
real-world operations. Preparation and Restoration addresses issues
such as the nature of resilience; the similarities and differences
between resilience and traditional ideas of system performance; how
systems cope with varying demands and sometimes succeed and
sometimes fail; how an organization's ways of preparing before
critical events can enable or impede restoration; the trade-offs
that are needed for systems to operate and survive; instances of
brittle or resilient systems; how work practices affect resilience;
the relationship between resilience and safety; and what improves
or erodes resilience. This volume is valuable reading for those who
create and operate systems that must not only survive, but thrive,
in the face of challenge.
