Invitation to Terror
Frank Furedi's claim that the social attitude of the West inadvertently invites acts of terrorism is an unsettling thought, but one that must be addressed in open discussion. He argues that what we really need to worry about is not what terrorist do, but our reaction to it.
Making Electricity Resilient
Energy risk and security have become topical matters in Western and international policy discussions; ranging from international climate change mitigation to investment in energy infrastructures to support economic growth and more sustainable energy provisions. As such, ensuring the resilience of more sustainable energy infrastructures against disruptions has become a growing concern for high-level policy makers. Drawing on interviews, participant observation, policy analysis, and survey research, this book unpacks the work of the authorities, electricity companies, and lay persons that keeps energy systems from failing and helps them to recover from disruptions if they occur. The book explores a number of important issues: the historical security policy of energy infrastructures; control rooms where electricity is traded and maintained in real time; and electricity consumers in their homes. Presenting case studies from Finland and Scandinavia, with comparisons to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union at large, Making Electricity Resilient offers a detailed and innovative analysis of long-term priorities and short-term dynamics in energy risk and resilience. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and security, and science and technology studies.
The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience
Psychological resilience has emerged as a highly significant area of research and practice, finding applications with a broad range of different groups in many settings. The second edition of The Routledge International Handbook of Psychosocial Resilience is a comprehensive compilation of chapters from an international team of contributors that takes stock of the state of the art in resilience theory, research, and practice. It covers the many different trajectories that resilience research has taken in four sections: the conceptual trends, psychosocial correlates, applied evidence, and cultivating resilience: impact and implications. This second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and includes new chapters on topics such as military resilience, resilience in rural contexts, cultural pathways, digital well-being, post-traumatic growth, building resilience with conflict survivors, peer support in varying contexts of marginalization, and the role of spirituality. This handbook is essential for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatric social workers, as well as researchers and students of psychology, sociology, human development, family studies, and disaster management.
