Extreme Violence: Understanding and Protecting People from Active
Assailants, Hate Crimes, and Terrorist Attacks provides readers
with a comprehensive treatment of critical knowledge needed to
understand, prevent, prepare for, and respond to catastrophic acts
of violence. In Part One of the book, readers learn about various
types of extreme violence, terrorist organizations, attack
methodologies, weapon types, mass transit targeting, and
vulnerabilities of critical infrastructures. Part Two focuses on
prevention strategies, including hazard and vulnerability
assessments, evaluating anonymous threats, target-hardening, crime
prevention through environmental design, security technology, and
behavioral approaches. It also discusses how attackers can leverage
an organization's own security technologies to carry out more
effective attacks. Part Three explores preparedness and emergency
responses, emergency communication systems, and the National
Incident Management System. Part Four speaks to the aftermath of
extreme violence by addressing public communications, mental health
recovery measures, litigation and reputation damage protection,
business resilience, and conducting post-incident reviews. Written
by internationally experienced security experts who have helped
prevent, respond to, and provide post-incident assistance for more
than 32 planned attacks globally, Extreme Violence is an ideal
resource for courses in security management, homeland security,
terrorism, public administration, and law enforcement. This timely
text is invaluable for practitioners working in homeland security,
emergency management, policing, security, criminal justice, public
administration, and terrorism.
(Book). Electric guitar players can choose from a library full of
guitar books, but comparatively little has been written about the
other 50% of the electric guitar: the amplifier. This book takes a
giant step toward redressing the balance, providing the first
overall view of amp-dom, including: how amps work, profiles of the
major manufacturers, 'transistor dinosaurs' and their place in amp
history, reissues vs. vintage amps, and troubleshooting. Terms are
defined in the margin as they are introduced, and plenty of photos
and diagrams illuminate the text.
