Description: Terrorism and Public Health : A Balanced Approach to Strengthening Systems and Protecting People, Hardcover by Levy, Barry S. (EDT); Sidel, Victor W. (EDT), ISBN 0199765545, ISBN-13 9780199765546, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The first edition of this book was published almost a decade ago to provide a comprehensive examination of the relationship between terrorism and public health. It also described what health professionals could do to mitigate the consequences of terrorist attacks and threats, and to address
the underlying causes of terrorism.
This completely revised second edition provides new information on emergency preparedness and response planning as well as lessons learned from responses to terrorist attacks in the United States and other countries. Expert scholars and practitioners of public health explore the historical roots of
terrorism and address potential terrorist weapons and their control. They also explore in detail the adverse health consequences of the "war on terror," including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, other violations of human rights and civil liberties, diversion of resources, and the adverse impact on
civil society organizations.
Arguing for a more balanced approach to preparedness, the editors and contributors to this second edition describe challenges and opportunities for strengthening the public health system, protecting disaster rescue and recovery workers, and promoting domestic and international law related to
terrorism.
