This book describes the risks of working with dangerous pathogens and toxins in the current era of international terrorism. The authors characterize the global spread of legitimate biotechnology and relate it to the rise of transnational terrorism, emphasizing the need for biosecurity measures even in legitimate bioscience. This second edition is considerably longer than the first and includes several new chapters and sections, with the final two-thirds of the book entirely reorganized.
