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

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,

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.
