Rövid leírás:

This well-written, up-to-date book presents a balanced, comprehensive approach to strengthening health systems and protecting people from terrorism. It covers the health consequences of the terrorist attacks in the United States and what has been learned from them. The authors systematically review various types of terrorist weapons, including biological, chemical, nuclear, radiologic and other radioactive weapons, and describe ways that the public health and medical care systems
can be improved, while protecting civil rights and human rights.

Hosszú leírás:

In a wide-ranging discussion of urgent issues, this volume examines the health consequences of the terrorist attacks in the United States and systematically reviews information on explosives, incendiaries, and small arms, as well as biologic, chemical, nuclear, radiologic and other radioactive weapons that may be used by terrorists. In a constructive approach, the authors discuss what needs to be done to improve the public health and medical care systems in preparation for possible
future terrorist attacks and threats and for addressing widespread public health problems more effectively. They also explore the origins of terrorism and discuss the civil rights and human rights issues related to government responses to terrorism. Well-written, well-organised, and up-to-date, the
book should be essential reading for many health professionals, students, and others concerned with terrorism and its health consequences.

This has to be the 'book of the year' so far, in this so important field of study, and deserves the widest possible readership.
