Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Holding Ground: A Portrait of Life After the Pandemic The period after the global pandemic was not marked by collapse, but by something quieter. Across much of the developed world, daily life resumed. Workplaces reopened. Markets recovered. Employment remained high. Official measures suggested stability had returned. Yet for many people, ordinary life began to feel more effortful, less predictable, and harder to carry without constant adjustment. Holding Ground traces that condition. Rather than recounting the crisis itself, the book observes the years that followed through a series of closely drawn portraits. A household managing rising costs that never quite recede. A young couple renting without momentum. A public servant carrying institutional fatigue. A teacher absorbing responsibilities the system no longer holds. A middle manager enforcing restraint while protecting morale. An immigrant balancing obligation across borders. None of these lives collapse. None are dramatic. Their strain lies in the quiet work of maintaining continuity. Structured across households, workplaces, institutions, and the edges of the economy, Holding Ground builds a composite portrait of a period defined not by crisis, but by endurance. A final section steps back to observe the shared atmosphere these lives reveal, without shifting into explanation or abstraction.…
