In a constructive approach, the authors discuss what needs to be done to improve the public health and medical care systems in perparation for possible future terrorist attacks and threats and for addressing widespread public health problems more effectively. They also explore the origins of terrorism and discuss the civil rights and human rights issues related to government responses to terrorism. Well-written, well-organized, and up-to-date, the book should be essential reading for many health professionals, students, and others concerned with terrorism and its health consequences. 606 $aTerrorism$xHealth aspects 606 $aDisaster medicine 606 $aEmergency medical services 606 $aWeapons of mass destruction$xHealth aspects 606 $aEmergency management 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention 606 $aHealth planning 606 $aPublic health 615 0$aTerrorism$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aDisaster medicine. 615 0$aEmergency medical services. 615 0$aWeapons of mass destruction$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aEmergency management. 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 615 0$aHealth planning. 615 0$aPublic health. 676 $a362.18 701 $aLevy$b Barry S$01596278 701 $aSidel$b Victor W$01596279 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822712503321 996 $aTerrorism and public health$93917607 997 $aUNINA
