Resilience

Resilience: An Engineering & Construction Perspective reflects my continued research and work on the challenges of large scale engineering & construction programs. At one level this book considers a special type of such a program namely the recovery following what I have termed an event of scale reflecting the fact that these events may be both manmade as well as natural in origin. At a deeper level it reflects my observations from witnessing the good bad and ugly of large scale disaster response and recovery efforts from an engineering & construction perspective. This second perspective was initially built not by design but rather by happenstance and circumstance but continues to intersect my professional life to this date.
