This edition presents the latest in security issues from security equipment and design theory to security management practice and has been reorganized to reflect the industry changes since the 9-11-01 World Trade Center attacks. It begins with a new chapter on the movement of Homeland Security in the United States and includes new coverage throughout the book of terrorism as it relates to: cargo and travel security, potential areas of attack and target hardening techniques, and the use of current technologies to combat new threats.

This is a 1975 edition, so only has value if you are completely new to the field. Probably good in its day.


Got textbook for class 2007-12-03
It is an OK introduction to security. It covers many aspects. Some chapters have too many quotes. At times it seems like a student's research paper turned into a book.
It shipped much earlier than indicated. I could have used super saver shipping and got it in time and got free shipping.
