As the concept of community resilience moves from the margins of
practice and theoretical research to more mainstream scholarship,
critical issues of conceptualization and use emerge. This is
particularly true at the intersection of community development
practice and community resilience theory. This book teases out
limitations with current conceptualizations of community
resilience, offers enhanced and alternative conceptualizations, and
presents compelling case studies of new conceptualizations in
action. This book is a starting place for scholarly conversations
about the role of community resilience in community development
practice. The frameworks presented here, will continue to gain more
support in academic and non-academic arenas as resilience rhetoric
increases in popularity. However, it is crucial for community
practitioners to use these frameworks to actively cultivate
resilience in their communities by building adaptive capacity in
systematic ways. To move the field of community resilience forward,
it is critical to understand the nuances of context and conditions
in communities and how broader conceptualizations of resilience
account for and utilize context to build adaptive capacity. This
book was originally published as a special issue in the journal
Community Development.
This volume synthesizes the results of work carried out by several
international teams of the SIROCO (Seismology for Rotation and
Convection) collaboration. It provides the theoretical background
required to interpret the huge quantity of high-quality
observational data recently provided by space experiments such as
CoRoT and Kepler. Asteroseismology allows astrophysicists to test,
to model and to understand stellar structure and evolution as never
before. The chapters in this book address the two groups of topics
summarized as "Stellar Rotation and Associated Seismology" as well
as "Stellar Convection and Associated Seismology". The book offers
the reader solid theoretical background knowledge and adapted
seismic diagnostic techniques.
