Description

Book Synopsis
Offers necessary steps to set us on the path toward true biosecurity. This book argues that true biosecurity will require a multipronged effort based on an understanding of the complexity of the issue, guided by scientific ethics, and watched over by a vigilant citizenry attentive to the difference between fearmongering and true analysis of risk.

Trade Review
"Forceful and provocative, Breeding Bio Insecurity contends that U.S. biodefense policies generate more risk than the threat they are supposed to be addressing. By carefully spelling out their rationales, the book's authors place the burden of justification on the defenders of massive biodefense budgets. Replete with deft arguments and imaginative scenarios, this book should be read by scientists, policy makers, and, indeed, all concerned citizens." - Leonard Cole, author of Terror: How Israel Has Coped and What America Can Learn"
