This guide for security managers offers practical advice for protecting a business or institutional entity against such natural or man-made threats as terrorism, industrial espionage, workplace
violence, fires, riots and civil unrest, medical or hazardous material emergencies and natural disasters. Manley, a noted author and expert on workplace security, provides strategies for each
type of threat that include preparation, response and the mitigation of effects. A final section addresses criminal law and civil litigation as a result of these events, and appendices include
summaries, procedures, checklists and communication standards. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
