Thomas Homer-Dixon examines how multiple, interacting stresses—climate change, energy constraints, demographic shifts and growing inequality—can amplify the risk of large-scale social breakdown while also creating opportunities for creative regeneration.

Using historical and contemporary case studies—from the fall of Rome to modern blackouts, regional disasters and political crises—Homer-Dixon synthesizes research across disciplines to show why systems thinking is essential to avoid cascading collapse.

What readers will find:

  • Analysis of converging global stresses
  • Principles for resilience and regeneration
  • Policy and innovation pathways
  • Interdisciplinary lessons from past crises

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
