Exploring Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems: Comparative Studies and Theory Development

The capacity of a system an ecosystem or a social-ecological system to tolerate disturbance, without collapsing into a qualitatively different state controlled by a different set of processes, is known as resilience. Written by some of the leading international thinkers in the field, Exploring Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems provides a state-of-the-science account of resilience theory, based on comparisons of a set of case studies around the world, and gives some fascinating insights into the subject.Walker, Brian H. is the author of 'Exploring Resilience in Social-Ecological Systems: Comparative Studies and Theory Development', published 2006 under ISBN 9780643092433 and ISBN 0643092439.
