Produktbeschreibung

The Wiley Handbook of Science and Technology for Homeland Security is an essential and timely collection of resources designed to support the effective communication of homeland security research across all disciplines and institutional boundaries. Truly a unique work this 4 volume set focuses on the science behind safety, security, and recovery from both man-made and natural disasters has a broad scope and international focus.
The Handbook:

Educates researchers in the critical needs of the homeland security and intelligence communities and the potential contributions of their own disciplines
Emphasizes the role of fundamental science in creating novel technological solutions
Details the international dimensions of homeland security and counterterrorism research
Provides guidance on technology diffusion from the laboratory to the field
Supports cross-disciplinary dialogue in this field between operational, R&D and consumer communities
