Essentials of Biological Security
 
A guide to minimizing the threat of misusing benignly intended and dual-use biological research
 
In Essentials of Biological Security: A Global Perspective, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a fundamental resource designed to raise awareness and understanding of biological security as it pertains to the malign manipulation of benignly intended scientific research.
 
Written by experts who have spent decades involved in biological security issues, the book is systematically organized to make it accessible to a wide range of life scientists likely to encounter dangerous opportunities for the deliberate misuse of their research. Readers will also find:
* A thorough introduction to biological security and the chemical and biological weapons (CBW) threat spectrum
* Comprehensive explorations of the history of biological weapons from antiquity to modern day
* Practical discussions of dual-use technologies and how to minimize their risk
* Expert analyses of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and other relevant international agreements and organizations
 
Perfect for professionals working in life sciences, medicine, global health, biosafety, and biosecurity, Essentials of Biological Security: A Global Perspective will also benefit anyone with an interest in and being responsible for biological security.
