Illustrated Edition of “Surviving Terrorism: Recognition and Response Guide to CBRNE Attack” in Progress

A new edition of Surviving Terrorism is in the works and should be complete by year’s end.  This new version will be have the following improvements:

• Fully illustrated:  to the best of my ability I will include an image of each chemical, biological, radiological, and explosive material as well as nuclear, improvised, and standard explosive devices.
• Larger print:  there have been complaints about the print being too small in the current edition, so I will change the size of the book to 8 1/2 x 11 and increase the text to a more readable 12 to 14 point.
• Perfect binding:  changing the binding from spiral to perfect will decrease the production cost – the savings from which will be passed on to the purchaser.

Other projects such as the co-authored publication with Dr. Trush entitled A Public Health Perspective for Surviving Terrorism:  Agents, Actions and Interventions, as well as  Surviving Terrorism:  Agriculture, Livestock, Water, and Food Edition, are still in production.  My apologies for the delay in releasing these two books, but I have been focusing my attention on completing critical awareness and medical guides for my charity, The Fishermen (www.thefishermenrelief.org).

The “Danger Book” Terrorism-Awareness Teaching Aid Now Available at TheFishermenRelief.Org

I am happy to announce that the official version of the Danger Book has been reviewed and approved for distribution.  Copyright paperwork was filed yesterday (excluding photos) and the publication uploaded on my charity’s website (TheFishermenRelief.org).  This guide is my gift to the people of North America.  Please feel free to make as many copies as needed for your home and/or classroom.  The Danger Book is more effective if printed in color, so please keep this in mind.

To reiterate, the “Danger Book” is a terrorism-awareness teaching aid to help parents and teachers prepare children for HAZMAT and/or terrorist incidents, and is meant to be used in conjunction with existing family, school, state, and federal emergency response information.  Though the advice provided is sound and proper, it must be bolstered by that of parents, teachers, law enforcement, fire, and other safety officials.  If possible, invite a representative of your local police and/or fire department to participate in teaching the contents of this book to your class.

I wish to thank my edit and review team without whose help this project would not have been possible.  To Janine, Richard, Claire, Colette, Jeff, Rich, Nicholas, and my dad: Thank You!
