Abstract: A well respected author has created an excellent overview of the threat of bioterrorism - yesterday, today and in the not so distant future. The text not only provides a succinct analysis of the threat but also presents issues of concern such as the imbalance between funding for bioterrorism and funding for all-hazard public health readiness. He includes several Appendices that are useful to planners and researchers alike. He leaves the reader with several prioritized agendas for action and the feeling that dark times are coming upon the world either from bioterrorists, unregulated research, or natural causes initiated by accidents. Overall the book serves as a good augmentation reference for university courses in natural and technological hazards.
