Multisystemic resilience : adaptation and transformation in contexts of change

Multisystemic Resilience brings together for the first time in one volume a wide range of resilience scholars who have been wrestling with how to explain processes of recovery, adaptation, and transformation in contexts of change and adversity.

With contributions from psychologists, epigeneticists, ecologists, architects, disaster specialists, engineers, sociologists, social workers, and public health researchers among others, this innovative volume creates a platform for an interdisciplinary conversation about how to effectively research resilience across systems.

Even more, it explores how to identify possible solutions to problems that threaten the physical and mental health of individuals, the wellbeing of our communities, and the sustainability of our planet.

Every chapter provides a detailed review of systemic resilience from one disciplinary perspective, drawing from cutting edge research and case studies.

Together these chapters show that considering the resilience of multiple systems at once is instrumental to understanding the processes of change and sustainability.
