Críticas

'This comprehensive and thoughtful book can contribute to greater public awareness of the issues and to moving forward.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'The book provides an excellent overview of problems and possible solutions. In that sense, its thoroughness will certainly make it an important reference work. It will also hopefully help awaken policymakers' interest in and make them more knowledgeable of the problems related to bioviolence - a first step towards defeating it.' The International Spectator
