Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism

Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism

Traditionally resources on terrorism and counterterrorism tend to focus on the social behavioral and legal aspects of the subject with minimal emphasis on the scientific and technological aspects. Taking into account these practical considerations the second edition of Science and Technology of Terrorism and Counterterrorism discusses the nature of terrorism and the materials used by terrorists. It describes how intelligence professionals and law enforcement personnel can detect and destroy these materials and how they can deal with terrorist groups. This volume begins by introducing the shift in analysis of terrorist attacks after September 11 2001 and summarizes selected case studies. It discusses the origin and nature of terrorism and the factors involved in diplomacy. Covering a broad range of topics the book examines: Aerosol dispersion of toxic materials Bioterrorism and the manufacture detection and delivery of biological agents Agricultural terrorism Nuclear terrorism and nuclear weapons systems threats and safeguards Chemical terrorism including manufacture detection delivery and decontamination Cyber-terrorism Personal protective equipment The role of government at federal state and local levels The role of international agencies and their resources capabilities and responsibilities The National Infrastructure Protection Plan As terrorist activities increase globally it is critical that those charged with protecting the public understand the myriad of ways in which terrorists operate. While we cannot predict where when and how terrorists will strike our vigilance in staying abreast of the terrorist threat is the only way to have a fighting chance against those who seek to destroy our world.

Connie Kelly Tang and Lei Zhang have provided a holistic coverage of the entire surface transportation project and program development process from the beginning of planning though environmental approval design right-of way acquisition construction to operations and maintenance. — Neil Pedersen Executive Director Transportation Research Board National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine Washington DC Transportation program and project development is complex. The process spans over planning programming environment design right of way construction operations and maintenance. Professionals from civil engineering planning social and environmental sciences business and project management and data science work together in a relay team to transform an idea into a highway a transit hub an airport or a water facility. It is challenging for any one person to master all the knowledge and skills needed to perform every relevant task. However it is critical for all involved to understand how this relay works and how the societal environmental governmental and regulatory contexts influence the process and the technical solution. Professionals who understand the process and see the big picture are those who rise to the top as leaders. Transportation Project and Program Development provides holistic coverage on the technical subject matter processes and procedures and policy and guidance associated with transportation project and program development which can help professionals become program leaders. For each phase of the process key products delivered processes used governing principles foundations of applicable science and engineering technologies deployed and knowledge required are discussed. While all coverages reflect the practices of the United States the logic principles science and engineering are applicable to all countries of the world. The book can also serve as an introductory textbook for undergraduate students and as a textbook or reference for a graduate-level course in civil engineering transportation engineering planning and project management. | Principles and Practices of Transportation Planning and Engineering
