Intended for agencies and businesses that need to develop their ability to adapt to unforeseen and challenging events, this book includes descriptions of ways to respond meaningfully to high
risk environments or, as the title states, developing sustained resilience. The authors address a variety of population segments in their discussions, from mothers of special needs children and
Antarctic expedition members to law enforcement and elite military personnel. Topics include business resilience in the face of crisis and disaster, sustained resilience and stress risk
management, leading for resilience in high risk occupations, and an ecological theory of resilience and adaptive capacity in emergency services. Editors Paton (psychology, U. of Tasmania,
Australia), Violanti (social and preventive medicine, State U. of New York, and 14 co-authors contributed to the book. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
