Society in crisis : our capacity for adaptation and reorientation

Wars, revolutions and pandemics are recurring phenomena in human history. In this anthology twenty-five world-leading scholars describe and analyse how different societies handle these situations, and highlight humanity s unprecedented capacity for adaption and reorientation. A crisis entails problems, but also opportunities. The anthology is published in a richly illustrated clothbound edition. Editors are Kurt Almqvist, Mattias Hessérus and Iain Martin.
