Price: $17.10

Customer Review:
Scott's work is a meticulously-detailed analysis of the blinding effects of big-picture macro-economics.

from Prentice Hall

Customer Review:
The overall quality of the book was excellent, but the covers always get little smudges in anything I get through Amazon. The local bookstore seems to always have a pristine cover to their books. Work on protecting the cover to paperbacks better.

Half of the book is citations from other authors. The other half is rambling. If I did not find the subject matter incredibly interesting I probably would have shot myself in the face a long time ago.

As such, it has a somewhat ad hoc feel to it, as though these (and other) authors are feeling out just what a text on homeland security is all about. The purpose of the book is described on page xiv: "The intent of this book is to... more info
