New biosecurity encyclopedia available
Irish research group offers a comprehensive encyclopedia with valuable information about all aspects of bioterrorism and biodefense; you may want to keep it on your desk
Dublin-based Research and Markets groups has a new offering which would be of interest to readers of this newsletter: It is the Encyclopedia of Bioterrorism Defense. The encyclopedia contains up-to-date information on scientific, medical, and technological advances impinging on defense against biological terrorism threats. The research group claims that this is the first time a publication has attempted to provide complete coverage in the field of bioterrorism. Articles review current knowledge across various disciplines within the context of bioterrorism, covering the most recent developments in areas including bioterrorism agents, biodefense infrastructure, biotechnology, preparedness, threats, threat analysis, and legislation. Relevant biological warfare events are included with a through analysis. The entries in the volume are written by an international panel of experts, and the target audience includes scientists, researchers, physicians, health care professionals, policymakers, historians, journalists, and students.
As such volumes go, the price of EUR 309.00 is not exorbitant.
