Introduction to Homeland Defense and Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) The U.S. Military’s Role to Support and Defend Edited by
Bert B. Tussing U.S. Army War College, Center for Strategic Leadership and Development, Carlisle, Pennsylvania, USA
Robert McCreight The Pennsylvania State University, State College, USA
The application of armed forces within the states and territories of the United States is far from intuitive. The challenges of defending the country against assaults within the homeland are much more complex than engaging enemies on foreign soil. Likewise, the introduction of the military in responding to domestic emergencies reflects an American ethos that regards these forces as servants of the people. This book examines the requirements and regulations guiding the use of armed forces in the domestic environment.

Transnational Security
Edited by
Julie L. Framingham Florida Department of Children and Families, Tallahassee, USA
Martell L. Teasley Florida State University, Tallahassee, USA
Highlighting the themes of cultural competence and evidence-based practice, this book presents an interdisciplinary approach to examining specific disaster behavioral health topics. It considers how one’s culture may impact willingness to seek and accept services and incorporates research on vulnerable or at-risk populations who are likely to suffer disproportionately more adverse psychological consequences of disaster. It also discusses clinical studies of cognitive behavioral treatments for disaster-related distress and post-traumatic stress disorder. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781439821237 Print ISBN: 978-1-4398-2123-7 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4398-2124-4 April 2012, 7 x 10, 442 pp. Suggested Price: $93.95 / £62.99

Globalization and the easy movement of people, weapons, and toxins across borders has transformed security into a transnational phenomenon. This book analyzes several pressing current transnational security threats, including weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, organized crime, cybercrime, natural disasters, human-made disasters, and infectious diseases. It combines theory and real-world examples to illustrate the transnational nature of security risks. It also considers the applicable international laws and examines how key international organizations are dealing with these issues. A solutions manual, instructor’s manual, and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781466594449 Print ISBN: 978-1-4665-9444-9 eBook ISBN: 978-1-4665-9446-3 October 2014, 6-1/8 x 9-1/4, 373 pp. Suggested Price: $79.95 / £49.99

Strategies for Unwinnable Conflicts
Adam Crowe
The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA
Emerging social media and Web 2.0 technologies will continue to have a great impact on the practice and application of the emergency management function in every public safety sector. This book prepares emergency managers and first responders to successfully apply social media principles in the operations, logistics, planning, finance, and administrative aspects of a given disaster. Using real-life examples, it demonstrates how to effectively apply social media technology to the next crisis, making it a must-read book for those charged with disaster management and response.
This book draws on the author’s extensive experience in counterterrorism, negotiation, and the implementation of the Oslo Peace Process. The book uses an interdisciplinary case study model to illustrate valuable lessons learned and best practices in strategic analysis and decision making in geopolitics. It examines international relations, international law, and negotiation/ intervention as they pertain to recent and historical examples of global crises and security.
