On a macrolevel, it defines and explores environmental resilience, social resilience, community resilience, and family resilience.� It focuses on the importance of�family, community, and spiritual bonds, in order to share experiences and enhance posttraumatic healing.� The need to be firmly grounded in today, while learning from yesterday, in order to cope with the requirements of tomorrow is the primary emphasis of this�book.��
