Critical Issues in Homeland Security

Praise for Critical Issues in Homeland Security by eds. James Ramsay and Linda A. Kiltz "Critical Issues in Homeland Security provides a comprehensive, practical framework and approach for helping students critically think about a variety of current issues and topics in the emerging discipline of homeland security. It includes consideration of the relationship between homeland security focused on the threat of terrorism and emergency management related to natural or technological hazards, along with the important issue of environmental security which is lacking in most other publications." --Phillip Schertzing, Michigan State University "This important book fills a gap in the academic literature by offering an opportunity for students to master key homeland security and emergency management subject matter through the practical consideration of case studies." --Jeff Bumgarner, University of Minnesota, Crookston "Critical Issues in Homeland Security is an excellent resource on the all-hazards approach to disasters, be they natural, manmade, or terrorist in nature. The text provides comprehensive dissection of the subject matter, well supported and thought provoking arguments, and challenging discussion questions with which to engage students." --Bruce Liebe, MacMurray College
