| Sommario/riassunto: | Written by a well-known expert in the field, this book draws on data from more than a thousand cities across the globe to trace the evolution of urban terrorism from 1968 to 2006. It also discusses local resilience--a city's capacity to bounce back from terrorist attack--and suggests how that can be sustained. |
