A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Despite the widespread opinion that calamities foster learning processes, there is much evidence that failure remains the norm. This book explores whether learning in the context of calamities occurs at all, and if so, under which conditions learned knowledge and practices can be achieved and preserved on a societal level in the long run.
