Wiley Handbook of Science and Technology for Homeland Security

Whowould buy this work,which is no comfortable evening reading and is priced at over $1,250? It may be that the price will keep this away from libraries that are too easily available to the general public, and this may be no bad thing. For sure, this remarkable compendium needs to be accessible to CEOs of large organizations, municipal emergency planners, police authorities, the military, and indeed any organization concerned with community resilience in the face of disasters due to natural causes, human negligence or mischief, as well as with the terrorist threat that occupies so much of the political and public agenda. Its relevance is marked by the publication dates of its contributions, which are very recent, most after 2008. Managers should issue a “read this and letme have your comments and action recommendations”directive to consider specific parts of theHandbook.Price should be no deterrent to purchase – it is goldwith the price of phosphor bronze!
