From the reviews: A massive encyclopedia devoted to the study of security systems. ! most of the entries contain references to further reading if you need to go into greater depth on any individual topic. ! the layout is good and the cross-referencing is very clear ! . Anyone with an interest in the mechanics of security systems will find this to be their best starting-point. ! The editor and contributors should be congratulated. ! Libraries of security agencies, etc. will obviously want a copy. (Martin Guha, Reference Reviews, Vol. 24 (5), 2010)
