    Online Learning Centres

    Langan, College Writing SkillsGood students are made, not born ...

    Study skills are an important part of learning and if you learn how to make the most of your study time, you will reap the benefits in your exams! McGraw-Hill has a comprehensive range of study skills titles to help you master practical study skills. Click on a book to find out more about it or to order online.

    Online Learning Centres, or OLCs, are websites that support the textbook you are studying from. They aim to make studying fun and interactive - after all, it's pretty easy for your mind to start wandering off depreciation or cell structure and to start daydreaming about whether to go for a curry before or after clubbing on Friday night. It's hard to know how much information you have absorbed and whether you are ready for the exam that's looming. So how can the OLC benefit you? Click here to find out!

    Colonel Russell Howard and Captain Reid Sawyer have collected and organized new and reprinted articles and essays by political scientists, government officials, and members of the US armed forces. The contributors include a majority of the significant names in the field including General Barry McCaffrey, Martha Crenshaw, Bruce Hoffman, Barry Posen, Jessica Stern, Ashton Carter.

    Part One of the book analyzes the philosophical, political, and religious roots of terrorist activities around the world and discusses the national, regional, and global effects of historical and recent acts of terrorism. In addition to material on the threats from suicide bombers, as well as chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear weapons, there are also important contributions analyzing new and growing threats: narco-terrorism, cyber-terrorism, genomic terrorism, and agro-terrorism.

    Part Two deals with past, present, and future national and international responses to--and defenses against--terrorism. Essays and articles in this section analyze and debate the practical, political, ethical, and moral questions raised by military and non-military responses (and pre-emptive actions) outside of the context of declared war. Five detailed Appendices: Chronology of Terrorism Incidents, Groups Designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, Terrorist Group Profiles, and Weapons of Mass Destruction Definitions.
