Trade Review
"Daniel P. Aldrich has drawn the lens back from the single event to reveal patterns of resilience - and roadblocks to recovery - in four different post-disaster contexts. Building Resilience offers a novel and compelling look at the darker side of social capital as it relates to post-disaster recovery." (Emily Chamlee-Wright, Beloit College)"
