Ordinary Magic, Second Edition Resilience in Development

"Updated with key advances in theory, methods, and research, the second edition of this landmark work features an expanded conceptual framework and a more global perspective on threats to human development, such as climate change, racism, and public health crises. Pioneering resilience expert Ann S. Masten illuminates the ordinary but powerful processes that allow many children exposed to trauma and adversity to survive, adapt, and even thrive. The book traces fundamental adaptive systems that have evolved and function synergistically at the neurobiological, psychological, social, community, and cultural levels, and provides a cogent resilience framework for promoting healthy development"-- Provided by publisher.
