6,656 Citations2004George A. Bonanno
Evidence is reviewed that resilience represents a distinct trajectory from the process of recovery, that resilience in the face of loss or potential trauma is more common than is often believed, and that there are multiple and sometimes unexpected pathways to resilience.

2,422 Citations2000Duncan S. Callaway, M. E. J. Newman +2 more
This paper studies percolation on graphs with completely general degree distribution, giving exact solutions for a variety of cases, including site percolators, bond percolations, and models in which occupation probabilities depend on vertex degree.

1,126 Citations1999W. Brian Arthur
After two centuries of studying equilibria-static patterns that call for no further behavioral adjustments-economists are beginning to study the general emergence of structures and the unfolding of patterns in the economy.
Environmental Science & TechnologyDesigning Resilient, Sustainable Systems
808 Citations2003Joseph Fiksel
A design protocol is presented that involves the following steps: identifying system function and boundaries, establishing requirements, selecting appropriate technologies, developing a system design, evaluating anticipated performance, and devising a practical means for system deployment.
PubMedThe quest for resilience.
782 Citations2003Gary Hamel, Liisa Välikangas
To achieve strategic resilience, companies will have to overcome the cognitive challenge of eliminating denial, nostalgia, and arrogance; the strategic challenge of learning how to create a wealth of small tactical experiments; the political challenge of reallocating financial and human resources to where they can earn the best returns; and the ideological challenge oflearning that strategic renewal is as important as optimization.

The range of challenges and the practical impossibility of adequately addressing each in turn argue for adoption of a more comprehensive systems perspective, based on the principle of enhancing social and economic resiliency as well as meeting security and emergency response needs.

Rapid reestablishment, high productivity, and reproduction of native flora and fauna in reflooded former marsh areas indicate a high probability for successful restoration, provided the restored wetlands are hydraulically designed to allow sufficient flow of noncontaminated water and flushing of salts through the ecosystem.
