Resilience

What causes some systems to collapse while others rebound? Are we at the mercy of forces beyond our control, or can we develop better “shock absorbers” for ourselves, our communities, our economies, and the planet? Reporting firsthand from the coral reefs of Palau to the streets of Palestine, Andrew Zolli and Ann Marie Healy reveal breakthrough scientific discoveries, pioneering social and ecological innovations, and fresh approaches to building a more resilient world. Through the lens of resilience, they offer powerful insights for tackling challenges in business, social development, urban planning, and national energy security—showing how we can adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of constant disruption.
