Reviews
Prospects for Resilience centrally positions the Jamaica Bay watershed as a social-ecological system and details the interactions among wetlands, water, and people and commerce in a way that is often discussed but rare in practice. Resilience planning and practice at this broad scale is not easy, but the framework outlined in this volume should provide a solid foundation for years to come. --Denise J. Reed Chief Scientist, The Water Institute of the Gulf, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
