Description
Bullock and Haddow have set the standard for homeland security textbooks, and they follow up their top-selling second edition with this
substantially improved third edition. Faculty, students, and professional practitioners value the decades of experience that the authors
bring to their analysis, and their passionate argument for an all-hazards approach to enhancing America's safety is now presented still
more cogently.
Links to the most current online government information help to keep the text up to date in this rapidly developing field.
The pedagogical elements in the bound book as well as the ancillaries have been expanded with more provocative discussion questions,
clearly stated objectives, and new illustrations and examples drawn from recent events.
The bedrock principles of preparing for, mitigating,
managing, and recovering from a disaster remain the same through the years, and this revision emphasizes their value with new clarity
and conviction.
Audience
Students in Homeland Security and government/modern history programs; government officials and national policy-makers, private security
and risk assessment professionals, state, federal, and private security training programs, emergency management personnel.
