DNI - the best place to start to get to know Boyd and his friends
Chet holds the Gospel alive on DNI - a huge and well put together catalogue of all things Boyd and the key commentaries and commentators. Also look at his blogroll that will take you to many great sources. This is THE starting place
John Robb is of course a great resource - here is the link to Global Guerrillas that has not only links but also a good book list
I have a long series on the unraveling that I call The Messy World I talk about Local Resiliency here

Couple of books that I find helpful:
The Great Wave by David Fischer - shows the long term pattern of bubbles and collapses
The Black Swan - Nassim Taleb - the new "bible" of collapse

Project White Horse has been looking at the resilient community idea now for over a year. The focus resulted as a confluence of things that came together in a " consistent perspective" with final catalyst being John Robb's closing chapters in Brave New War. My before and after resilient community list (note, by title, some may not appear obvious) is as follows:
* Essence of Decision;Explaing the Cuban Missile Crisis by Graham Allison
* The Thirty Mile Fire by John MaClean
* Worst Cases; Terror and Catastrophe in the Popular Imagination by Lee Clarke
* Mission Improbable; Using Fantasy Documents to Tame Disaster by Lee Clarke
* Ecology of Fear; Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster by Mike Davis
* The Monster at our Door; The Global Threat of Avian Flu by Mike Davis
* Americans at Risk; Why We are Not Prepared for Megsdisasters and what We Can Do Now by Irwin Redlener
* Unconventional Crises, Unconventional Resposes; Reforming Leadership in the Age of Catastrophic Crises and Hypercomplexity by Erwan Lagedec
* The Medici Effect by Frans Johansson
* Resiliency in Action by Nan Henderson
* The Counter-Terrorism Puzzle by Boaz Ganor
* The Utility of Force by General Rupert Smith
* Operational Risk Management by Mark Abkowitz
* America's Army by Gens Zeb Bradford and Frederic Brown
* (The current articles on PWH) http://www.projectwhitehorse.com/current.htm
