After the events of 9/11, it was evident there was a need for better and more formal education and training in emergency and disaster management and other facets of homeland security. "Introduction to Homeland Security," by George Haddow and Jane Bullock, offers a comprehensive account of past and current homeland security reorganization and practices, policies and programs in relation to the government restructure. The structure of each chapter is consistent throughout this text from Butterworth-Heinemann, and is designed to acommodate useful pedagogical elements such as learning objectives for each chapter; definitions of the terms used in homeland security; a comprehensive contact list of federal and state government homelance security offices and officials; and much more.
