Rezensionen

Chris Zebrowski's brilliant book, The Value of Resilience, offers an analytically accomplished and historically informed critique of the seemingly benign idea of resilience. It unsettles the naturalness of this pervasive concept, tracing its origins from the emergency government measures of WWI through to today's preparations for an uncertain but potentially catastrophic future. Written in an open and accessible style, The Value of Resilience is essential reading for specialists and non-specialists alike, interested in how we are governed, and what we can do about it. - Mark Duffield, Emeritus Professor, University of Bristol, UK
