Originally published in 2003 and now reissued with a new
introduction, this collection provides an invaluable, academic
resource on the challenges bioterrorism posed for American society
and institutions. Critically selected essays from a wide range of
disciplines document and analyze the problems and implications for
political, economic, and legal institutions, as well as the
challenges a weapon of disease and fear can impose on public health
and public policy. By placing bioterrorism into its historical
context, this collection also traces the academic research and
historical decisions that have contributed to the formation of
American policies attempting to cope with a potentially
catastrophic attack on the population in general and urban
population in particular.

Although at the start of the 21st century bioterrorism was newly
feared by the public at large, it is one threat that institutions
have attempted to anticipate for years. Originally published in
2003, and now with a new introduction, this unique 2-volume
collection provides a multi-disciplinary resource on the challenges
bioterrorism poses for American society and institutions, from both
legal and political institutions, on one hand, to public health and
medical institutions on the other. Volume one documents and
analyses the challenge bioterrorism poses to these political,
economic and legal institutions, putting bioterrorism into its
historical context as a problem discussed and anticipated by
government for decades. Volume two documents the challenges
bioterrorism poses to public health and public policy as a weapon
of disease and fear. The materials in these volumes provide case
histories and discourse by specialists relating to the ways that
the bioterrorism threat has been perceived and approached by US
health and law institutions.
