While there's plenty of Internet Marketing books to choose from, not much has been written for the solo practitioner and small law firm. And there's a good reason for that: Most marketers don't know what to do with attorneys. They don't sell products, they don't offer coupons... they don't even advertise like normal business owners. But just because your law firm isn't a typical web-based business, that doesn't mean you can't still benefit from all the tools the web has to offer. Enter Robert Armstrong and Sanford M.

Some in the scientific community are questioning whether that will ever happen. If H5N1 does become pandemic, we have no basis for predicting whether it will be this year or 10 years from now. After all, H5N1 was first identified in birds...

Monitoring covert offensive biological weapons research from afar has always been a daunting task. The problems facing analysts today are even more difficult, as advances in life sciences and dual-use biotechnology are rapidly spreading the knowledge, equipment, and materials needed to produce crude and sophisticated biological weapons around the world. Unlike nuclear programs, a well-defined and limited set of equipment and material that can be controlled through various import/export controls does not exist. Future monitoring will become more challenging as the distinctions among military,...

Protecting the population against the effects of a bioterrorism attack is one of the most daunting tasks facing government officials.

The authors also present the results of an extensive statistical study that examined the...
