Thank you. The Manyena one is new to me and looks suitable for the purpose.

Does anyone know pf any good text books covering resilience in an accessible way?

Tracey,

One place to start might be:

Manyena, S. B. (2006), The concept of resilience revisited. Disasters, 30: 434–450. doi:10.1111/j.0361-3666.2006.00331.x

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.0361-3666.2006.00331.x/abstract

Also, to explore the etymological roots of the term it might be useful to look at David Alexander’s exploration which is available freely online here:

https://www.nat-hazards-earth-syst-sci.net/13/2707/2013/nhess-13-2707-2013.pdf

There are other texts I am sure, but these provide a good grounding and places to explore the wider literature. I hope this helps!

Best wishes

Justin

Hi

I am hoping this is suitable for the list.

I teach both undergraduate and postgraduate university students about the concepts of vulnerability and resilience. I talk about the shift to the vulnerability paradigm and the subsequent rise of resilience.  I emphasis the contested nature of resilience. Whilst I have lots of sources I don't feel I have a good starting text which I can recommend to help students begin to get to grips with this slippery concept of resilience. Can anyone suggest a textbook or paper which would provide a good starting point for their reading.

Thanks

Tracey.
