Biological and chemical weapons expert Eric Croddy Biological and chemical weapons expert Eric Croddy is a senior research associate at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. From a Publishers Weekly review: Mustard gas, sarin, hemorrhagic fever viruses, vomiting agents, biological toxins the weapons described in Chemical and Biological Warfare will make the reader's head spin, but author Eric Croddy, a Monterey Institute of International Studies research associate, is careful to avoid unnecessary alarmism in this primer on unconventional weapons. He describes the various existing chemical and biological weapons, how they work, and which countries own them, evaluating the threat that each kind of weapon poses and the likelihood of its use. For the most part, he argues, this weaponry is still prohibitively expensive. Whether he's right or not, this is a thorough, understandable crash course. More

Fort Detrick, Frederick, Maryland: U. S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, 1998. Third Edition (rev. 1.0). Wraps. [10], 121, [28], [8] pages plus three fold-out charts. Glossary of Medical Terms. The purpose for this handbook is to serve as a concise pocket-sized manual that will guide medical personnel in the prophylaxis and management of biological casualties. It is designed as a quick reference and overview, and is not intended as a definitive text on the medical management of biological casualties. During Operations Desert Storm/Desert Shield it became obvious that the threat of biological attacks against our soldiers was real, and that the Army could do more to educate its medical professionals about how to prevent and treat biological warfare casualties. Training efforts were significantly intensified following increased incidents and threats of domestic terrorism. This edition represents a snapshot in time as to the state of knowledge, state of practice, and the state of the art between the Persian Gulf Wars and the Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Laurie Garrett (born 1951 in Los Angeles, California) is a Pulitzer prize-winning science journalist and writer of two bestselling books. She was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Journalism in 1996 for a series of works published in Newsday, chronicling the Ebola virus outbreak in Zaire. Garrett graduated with honors from Merrill College at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she received a B.A. in biology in 1975. She attended graduate school in the Department of Bacteriology and Immunology at University of California, Berkeley and did research at Stanford University. During her Ph.D. studies, Garrett started reporting on science news for radio station KPFA. At KPFA Garrett worked in management, in news, and in radio documentary production. A documentary series she co-produced with Adi Gevins won the 1977 Peabody Award in Broadcasting, and other KPFA production efforts by Garrett won the Edwin Howard Armstrong award. Garrett won a George Polk Award for Foreign Reporting in 1997 for "Crumbled Empire, Shattered Health" in Newsday, "a series of 25 articles on the public health crisis in the former Soviet Union". She won another Polk award in 2000 for her book Betrayal of Trust, "a meticulously researched account of health catastrophes occurring in different places simultaneously and amounting to a disaster of global proportions". Garrett takes us to India, where she meticulously examines the course of the country's pneumonic plague; to Zaire, where the Ebola virus is still largely unchecked; and to Russia, where bad policy and a collapsing society have made for staggering setbacks in all areas of health. Garrett also exposes the ungoverned world of biological terrorism. More
