Product 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.
NEW TO THIS EDITION:
* New chapter on the future of homeland security
* Updates include developments since 2006, such as the shift from DHS to HHS of National Disaster Medical System
* Additional online resources keep readers in touch with latest developments
* Slideshow of key moments in American homeland security, including 9/11 and Katrina

professionnals are talking to professionnals December 23, 2008

It is the state of the art for homeland security. All the topics are treated. No theory but facts and real events management.
Excellent text January 7, 2010
Ronald J. Orso (USA)
I'll be using this text while teaching a college course in Homeland Security next month. I learned a number of things from this text that I didn't know, even after 17 years in Emergency Management. My only gripe is that they could have had a better list of URL's as well as educational links...

With the sneak attach on American soil that most of us now call 9/11, the term "homeland security" became a part of the national dialogue and the title of the largest federal agency in the history of our country. Now in an updated and expanded third edition, "Introduction To Homeland Security: principles Of All-Hazards Response" by the team of Jane Bullock (who has served as chief of staff at FEMA and is currently with the Washington-based disaster management consulting firm of Bullock & Haddow LLC), George Haddow (Adjunct professor at the Institute for Crisis, Disaster, and Risk Management at the George Washington University and also currently with Bullock & Haddow), Damon Coppola (a Senior Associate with Bullock & Haddow), and Sarp Yeletaysi (an expert in business continuity planning and disaster recovery) is a 602-page compendium that is the cornerstone textbook on the subject of rapidly evolving field of American homeland security. "Introduction To Homeland Security" begins with a history of the terrorist threat in American history from the early 19th century down to September 11, 2001. Subsequent chapters focus on the statutory authority for homeland security; organizational actions; terrorist-related hazards; our intelligence agencies as well as border and infrastructure security' prevention, mitigation and preparedness against attacks; response to and recovery from attack; communications; and technology. Of special note is the concluding chapter on the foreseeable future of homeland security. "Introduction To Homeland Security" is the basic textbook on the subject and a core addition to professional, governmental, academic, and community library National Security reference collections. It is also very highly recommended for the non-specialist general reader with an interest in Homeland Security and its implications for our American society, culture, and government.

Shipping free, based on the cost of the book, shipping was free presenting me with a savings of almost $40 as to compared to my college bookstore price and shipping. My order arrived within four days. I am completely satisfied with the transaction and will undoubtedly look to Amazon for future needs as well.
