TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a compendium of disaster resilience in the face of disasters due to natural causes, human negligence or mischief, as well as with the terrorist threat that occupies so much of the political and public agenda.
Abstract: Whowould buy this work,which is no comfortable evening reading and is priced at over $1,250? It may be that the price will keep this away from libraries that are too easily available to the general public, and this may be no bad thing. For sure, this remarkable compendium needs to be accessible to CEOs of large organizations, municipal emergency planners, police authorities, the military, and indeed any organization concerned with community resilience in the face of disasters due to natural causes, human negligence or mischief, as well as with the terrorist threat that occupies so much of the political and public agenda. Its relevance is marked by the publication dates of its contributions, which are very recent, most after 2008. Managers should issue a “read this and letme have your comments and action recommendations”directive to consider specific parts of theHandbook.Price should be no deterrent to purchase – it is goldwith the price of phosphor bronze!

Abstract: In contrast with a widespread perception of Russia as an expansionist power in the Arctic, this article argues that Moscow does not seek military superiority in the region. Rather, Moscow's military strategies in the Arctic pursue three major goals: first, to demonstrate and ascertain Russia's sovereignty over its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the region; second, to protect its economic interests in the High North; and third, to demonstrate that Russia retains its great power status and still has world-class military capabilities. The Russian military modernization programs are quite modest and aim at upgrading the Russian armed forces in the High North rather than providing them with additional offensive capabilities or provoking a regional arms race. The Russian ambitions in the Arctic may be high, but they are not necessarily implying the intentions and proper capabilities to confront other regional players by military means.
