Floods, fires, famines, epidemics and disasters of all kinds are on the increase, and as their frequency rises so does the call for greater resilience. But what does that mean?
The word is used differently in psychology, ecology, economics and engineering and runs the risk of becoming meaningless jargon. This would be most unfortunate because, if we are to successfully navigate very real and dangerous global trends, it is resilience that needs to be understood and fostered.
Finding Resilience is international in scope and unravels how ecosystems, societies and people cope with disturbance and adversity. Written for a general readership and based on the experiences of researchers, these fascinating stories from around the world reveal what resilience is, how it works in different kinds of systems, how it is expressed, and how it can be gained and lost.

| Descriere RO | Inundatiile, incendiile, foametea, epidemiile si dezastrele de tot felul sunt in crestere si, pe masura ce frecventa lor creste, creste si solicitarea unei rezistente mai mari. Dar ce inseamna asta? Cuvantul este folosit diferit in psihologie, ecologie, economie si inginerie si risca sa devina jargon fara sens. |
