While rural communities have a special place in the national fabric, they often lack the resources to tackle these important and evolving threats. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlanning for Rural Resilience: Coping with Climate Change and Energy Futures\u003c\/em\u003e makes clear that communities and municipalities have opportunities to make informed and constructive decisions in the face of uncertainty: many of these decisions are \"win-win\" in the sense that they benefit the community in the short term while also building resilience for the future. Case studies include a town rebuilding itself after a tornado and an individual farmer's commitment to creating a resilient farm. They provide examples of innovative, successful, and practical on-the-ground actions and strategies. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlanning for Rural Resilience\u003c\/em\u003e asks central questions about the nature of change and the ability to adapt in rural regions. While change is often feared, communities have capacity that can be rallied, harnessed, and turned towards planning policy and action that responds to threats to the future. This important work will assist municipal decision makers, planners, and community members as well as anyone who has a passion for the future and betterment of rural life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWayne J.
