Description
Timely meditations on human flexibility
In this anthology, 25 leading scholars from across the globe describe and analyze how different societies have handled crisis. In ancient Greek, a crisis refers not necessarily to a catastrophic situation but to an opportunity for great change. Edited by Swedish historian Mattias Hessérus and Scottish commentator Iain Martin, Society in Crisis takes this classical understanding of the term to heart as it acknowledges the many ways in which humans have made the decision to reorient their societies as a result of crisis.
