"The fourth edition of Homeland Security by Bullock and Haddow is truly a "Swiss Army Knife" type of textbook based on its usefulness and versatility. It is an excellent reference tool for emergency responders, and for criminal justice and terrorism courses. The graphic materials are first rate and the data sets are current and relevant for students as well as decision-makers. Overall, it is a terrific resource for multiple majors and courses which saves money for students by being applicable for a variety of courses. I highly recommend this product."--Melvin M. Vuk, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Retired, Global Security and Intelligence Studies, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University "This is the authoritative text on emergency management, covering all of the key areas, including the new National Incident Management System and National Response Plan requirements. I have used it extensively in instruction and as a desk reference. It goes beyond the basic government requirements to address the fundamentals of managing an emergency, whether it's man-made or a natural disaster. A must-have for any emergency management practitioner or professor."--Jeffrey C. Price, M.A., C.M., Associate Professor, Department of Aviation & Aerospace Science, School of Professional Studies, The Metropolitan State College of Denver "This text is perhaps one of the most comprehensive, in-depth examinations of Homeland Security that I have the opportunity to review. Students will greatly benefit by the clarity, detail, and level of professional application. It is quite obvious that the authors invested a tremendous amount of time, research, and expertise into the text."--Dr.Jeffrey S.Czarnec, Chairman, Department of Criminal Justice, Hesser College
