H.W. Wilson Volume Looks at U.S. Homeland Security
Explores
Current Efforts, Challenges, and Impact on Civil Liberties
New
York, New York, March 12th, 2004
 H.W. Wilson today announced
Homeland
Security, a compilation of articles about American
efforts to achieve homeland security in the wake of the attacks on
September 11th, 2001. September 11th put an end to any notions of
invulnerability in the U.S. and left the nation with the formidable
challenges of preventing another attack and preparing to cope with
one should it occur. The 28 articles here examine how we're meeting
these challenges, what vulnerabilities remain, and the threats posed
to civil liberties by new security measures and technologies.
Homeland
Security is the first of six books in The
Reference Shelf 2004 series. Five others are forthcoming: U.S.
National Debate Topic 2004-2005: The United Nations, The
Two Koreas, The U.S.
Election System, The
Car and Its Future, and Representative
American Speeches 2003-2004. Libraries that order the
complete 6-volume set receive a substantial discount.
Each book in The
Reference Shelf series offers extensive exploration of a current
topic of importance in modern society, in a compilation of notable
articles from respected publications, plus abstracts of 20 to 30
additional articles and a bibliography of other sources. Reference
Shelf volumes provide a well-rounded, non-biased overview for
researchers and general readers. The Reference Shelf 2003 included
The
American Family, Intellectual
Property, The Muslim
World, Urban Planning,
Warfare in the 21st Century,
and Representative American
Speeches 2002-2003.

Shelf volumes are available for members of the press.
