Description
Resilience: A New Way of Thinking About Human-Environment Relations. This book offers an advanced introduction to the concept of resilience and its emergence from ecology. It provides a detailed review of how resilience has challenged conventional environmental management practices, radicalizing new approaches to social and ecological change. The concept of resilience is rooted in diverse intellectual traditions, including behavioral science, neoliberal economics, pragmatist philosophy, and modernist design aesthetics. Resilience thinking recalibrates the study of human-environment relations around a will to design and synthesize diverse forms of knowledge to develop collaborative solutions to complex problems. By transforming our understanding of social and environmental change, resilience approaches aim to produce more sustainable futures for complex systems.
