Wiley, 2008

Risk and Resilience
I found that this book really relied on a medical model for examining risk and resilience. Furthermore, much of the data and empirical work was derived outside of the U.S. Overall, good text for beginners attempting to define/conceptualize resilience across diverse populations.
