I have recently finished reading the book of Resilience Alliance programme director Brian Walker. Resilience Thinking is an essential guidebook to a powerful new way of understanding our complex world - and of living resiliently within it. This book shows how all highly adaptive systems - from ecologies to economies - go through regular cycles of growth, reorganization, and renewal and how our failures to understand the basic principles of resilience have often led to disaster. Resilience Thinking gives us the conceptual tools to help us cope with the bewildering surprises and challenges of our new century.

The book is written in an accessible language and should also inspire designers and artists as resilience thinking opens up a vast artistic playground while offering an alternative and far more exciting approach than a mere technological transition to a sustainable future.

Here's a brief explanation of resilience thinking by Brian Walker. Please understand that scientists are not the best producers of audio visual material. ;-)
