Purchase options and add-ons


In 2006, Resilience Thinking addressed an essential question: As the natural systems that sustain us are subjected to shock after shock, how much can they take and still deliver the services we need from them? This idea caught the attention of both the scientific community and the general public.

In Resilience Practice, authors Brian Walker and David Salt take the notion of resilience one step further, applying resilience thinking to real-world situations and exploring how systems can be managed to promote and sustain resilience.

The book begins with an overview and introduction to resilience thinking and then takes the reader through the process of describing systems, assessing their resilience, and intervening as appropriate. Following each chapter is a case study of a different type of social-ecological system and how resilience makes a difference to that system in practice. The final chapters explore resilience in other arenas, including on a global scale.
 
Resilience Practice will help people with an interest in the “coping capacity” of systems—from farms and catchments to regions and nations—to better understand how resilience thinking can be put into practice. It offers an easy-to-read but scientifically robust guide through the real-world application of the concept of resilience and is a must read for anyone concerned with the management of systems at any scale.

    A great completion of Resilience Thinking

  • Jim at Warrah
    5.0 out of 5 stars clear concise and practical explanation of resilience application
    Reviewed in Australia on May 21, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    the examples provide a very readable and practical view of how applying resilience thinking in the natural world can be undertaken and it's value when looking at our natural systems. Trying to constrain and manage natural systems has shown to a fruitless exercise, yet Governments still view that 'we can control nature, we can control it, mould it to our wants' but when looking at how to work 'with' systems as opposed to 'on' systems there is a better chance of success. This book shows how it has been done, and explains the thinking behind 'resilience' clearly.

    Practical enough for a good start! Clear, practical and still very interesting to read of course after the reading of the 2006 book call: ''Resilience Thinking''. Thanks!
