The CRC Press Terrorism Reader
From CRC Press's unrivaled pool of author experts comes the ultimate reader on terrorism. With information drawn from premier titles in the CRC Press collection, it focuses on how to prepare for, mitigate, counter, and respond to terror threats and acts. Policy issues, critical infrastructure protection, terrorism funding, and target selection is discussed, along with weapons of mass destruction, intelligence and antiterrorism efforts, terrorism crisis management, and responder issues. The book goes beyond theory to provide practitioner knowledge from the field straight into the reader‘s hands, delivering real-world solutions to terrorist threats and acts at home and abroad.
Wildlife Toxicology
Updating the extremely successful Wildlife Toxicology and Population Modeling (CRC Press, 1994), Wildlife Toxicology: Emerging Contaminant and Biodiversity Issues brings together a distinguished group of international contributors, who provide a global assessment of a range of environmental stressors, including pesticides, environmental contaminant
Biological Weapons
The threat of biological weapons has been worrying about the armed forces, as well as political leaders for quite some time. With the global recorded deaths from COVID-19 surpassing one million, the biotechnological revolution has heightened the fear of future weaponized pathogens. The COVID-19 virus or its variant could be the most effective weapon for future biological warfare. The indiscriminate effect of such a weapon and its power to cripple economies and devastate the lives of people may make it attractive to rogue States and non-State actors. This book provides an updated analysis of biological warfare agents, including the COVID-19 virus, biotechnological developments affecting biological agents, and the legal regime responsible for preventing the use of biological weapons.
The Role and Limitations of Technology in U.S. Counterinsurgency Warfare
Although the United States plays a leading role in the development of technology, particularly that used by militaries around the world, the U.S. military nonetheless continues to find itself struggling against lower-tech foes that conduct warfare on a different scale. Emerging technology is indeed available and is regularly employed in American counterinsurgency efforts; however, since it is also constantly in flux, strategies for its use must continually evolve to ensure that available resources are put to best use against disparate enemies. Counterinsurgency operations are inherently political conflicts, and in The Role and Limitations of Technology in U.S. Counterinsurgency Warfare, Rich...
World Terrorism: An Encyclopedia of Political Violence from Ancient Times to the Post-9/11 Era
First Published in 2015. This collection holds three volumes. Terrorism is a term that defies easy definition and its meaning has also changed over the course of history. Because this encyclopedia aims at comprehensiveness —across time, geography, and the conceptual landscape —it applies the broadest definition of terrorism: the use of violence or the threat of violence to effect political change through fear, in which the victims of the violence. The encyclopedia is divided into six parts.
Advances in Biological and Chemical Terrorism Countermeasures
Biological and chemical weapons are a growing terrorist threat to the United States and other nations and countermeasures continue to evolve as a national and global priority issue. To keep up with this rapidly changing and vital field we must establish the current state-of-the-science on countermeasures to form a platform from which to offer persp
Advances in Biological and Chemical Terrorism Countermeasures
Based on the findings of a multidisciplinary toxicology research program, this book explores methods of implementing counter measures to biological and chemical terrorism. It focuses on modeling, simulation, and visualization; agent detection, remediation, and therapeutic intervention strategies; and, sensors and personal protective devices.
New Developments in Biological and Chemical Terrorism Countermeasures
A science-based text, New Developments in Biological and Chemical Terrorism Countermeasures presents research that addresses the growing threat of chemical and biological terrorism as well as the need for improvements in the implementation of countermeasures. This new textbook building upon Advances in Biological and Chemical Terrorism Countermeasu
The Science and Technology of Counterterrorism
Scientists with little or no background in security and security professionals with little or no background in science and technology often have difficulty communicating in order to implement the best counterterrorism strategies. The Science and Technology of Counterterrorism offers the necessary theoretical foundation to address real-world terrorism scenarios, effectively bridging the gap. It provides a powerful security assessment methodology, coupled with counterterrorism strategies that are applicable to all terrorism attack vectors. These include biological, chemical, radiological, electromagnetic, explosive, and electronic or cyber attacks. In addition to rigorous estimates of threat v...
