This book examines how emergent trends in innovation and its governance are raising new and old questions about how to control technology. It develops a new framework for understanding how emergent fields of science and technology emerge as security concerns; and the key challenges these fields pose from a global security perspective. The study focuses on the politics which have surrounded the emergent field of Synthetic Biology, a field which has become emblematic of both the potentials and limits of more preemptive approaches to governance. This highly accessible work will be of interest to both scholars and practitioners working on the ethical responsibilities of innovators and the assessment of emergent technology as well as the global governance of weapons.

The disappearance of Queensland schoolboy Daniel Morcombe was one of the most heartbreaking and confounding child abduction and murder cases of the century, spanning almost a decade prior to the eventual arrest of known pedophile Brett Peter Cowan, one of the original persons of interest. The story of the police sting that resulted in his confession reads like crime fiction, featuring an elaborately staged fake crime gang run by a 'Mr Big' that lured Cowan in with the promise of a hefty payout. The Sting takes you on a journey behind Australia's most sensational undercover bust, revealing extraordinary new details. It is a shocking insight into one of the country's most evil killers, and the operation that brought him down.
The beef business ain't what it used to be, but Kenny "Black Elk" Shepard's casino is bustling-so much that he's buying all the ranches in Spearfish and turning them into official tribal land. But the Flying-C ain't selling, and word has it, them boys'll go down swinging. So with the help of an insider-a Custer and power-hungry politician herself-Kenny Shepard plans a hostile takeover: kill off the stock, make it look like an act of God. But when the plan goes awry resulting in casualties on both sides, it'll be all out war for this small piece of land. As the lines between good and evil become blurred, the only moral compass in the town is Sheriff Weston Harris and his cantankerous, post-menopausal deputy in this modern-day Cowboys versus Indians.
