      abstract = {"Global environmental change is occurring at a rate faster  than humans have ever experienced. Climate change and the  loss of ecosystem services are the two main global  environmental crises facing us today. As a result, there is  a need for better understanding of the specific and general  resilience of networked ecosystems, cities, organisations  and institutions to cope with change. In this book, an  international team of experts provide cutting-edge insights  into building the resilience and adaptive governance of  complex social-ecological systems. Through a set of case  studies, it focuses on the social science dimension of  ecosystem management in the context of global change, in a  move to bridge existing gaps between resilience,  sustainability and social science. Using empirical examples  ranging from local to global levels, views from a variety  of disciplines are integrated to provide an essential  resource for scholars, policy-makers and students, seeking  innovative approaches to governance"--},
