Reviews

'Resilience - whether relating to individuals, businesses, sectors or places - is an important concept in an increasingly volatile world. Williams and Vorley have performed a valuable service in bringing together these high quality essays. I am confident that the volume will stimulate further work on this topic.' -- Colin Mason, University of Glasgow, Scotland.
