A CIA op to acquire a Russian nerve agent Citex from a long-forgotten Soviet research complex backfires when somebody beats the CIA at their own game. While celebrating his assignment to a safe desk job, FBI agent Kirk Ingram's wife and daughter are murdered before his eyes. Despite grievous injuries, Ingram survives and finds salvation in waging a vendetta against organised crime. Following a tip-off concerning a human trafficking ring in Los Angeles, Ingram leads a disastrous federal raid on a warehouse owned by Gunther Trade. Diving to recover historic artefacts from a shipwreck, marine archaeologist Edward Gunner is attacked and his yacht sunk. Within hours, his daughter, Amanda, is running for her life. Only a fortuitous encounter with Ingram saves her. As Ingram goes head-to-head with businessman Lars Gunther, clues from the Gunner case reveal Gunther Trade is the common denominator in the FBI and LAPD investigations... and might even answer the questions facing every intelligence agency: Who has Citex? What are the targets?
This open access book provides the first critical history of the controversy over whether to cull wild badgers to control the spread of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) in British cattle. This question has plagued several professional generations of politicians, policymakers, experts and campaigners since the early 1970s. Questions of what is known, who knows, who cares, who to trust and what to do about this complex problem have been the source of scientific, policy, and increasingly vociferous public debate ever since. This book integrates contemporary history, science and technology studies, human-animal relations, and policy research to conduct a cross-cutting analysis. It explores the worldviews of those involved with animal health, disease ecology and badger protection between the 1970s and 1990s, before reintegrating them to investigate the recent public polarisation of the controversy. Finally it asks how we might move beyond the current impasse.

In the last several decades, there has been a surge of interest in expertise in the social scientific, philosophical, and legal literatures. While it is tempting to attribute this surge of interest in expertise to the emergence and consolidation of a "knowledge society," "post-industrial society," or "network society," it is more likely that the debates about expertise are symptomatic of significant change and upheaval. As the number of contenders for expert status has increased, as the bases for their claims have become more diverse, and as the struggles between these would-be experts intensified, expertise became problematic and contested. In The Oxford Handbook of Expertise and Democratic...
