Reviews

"This book is recommended for everyone working in biosecurity and biosafety positions. It should be in bioresearch libraries, and managers should promote it as required reading. The book is that good." --Security Management

"Specialized topics like animal and crop biosafety are included...security practitioners in the field will learn about the evolution of biosecurity measures from a variety of wise contributors." --Security Letter
