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 adaptation 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.
