Exploring the concept of resilience in the face of global disasters, the authors take readers through various crisis zones, including Australia, Miami, and New York City, highlighting communities struggling to recover from catastrophic events. They challenge the notion that adaptation alone is sufficient for survival, arguing that this mindset ignores the human factors contributing to disasters. By examining the deeper social, ecological, and economic causes, the book emphasizes the urgent need for comprehensive solutions to prevent widespread suffering in the future.
