Purchase options and add-ons
Design and Evaluation of Physical Security Systems, Second Edition, includes updated references to security expectations and changes since 9/11. The threat chapter includes references to new threat capabilities in Weapons of Mass Destruction, and a new figure on hate crime groups in the US. All the technology chapters have been reviewed and updated to include technology in use since 2001, when the first edition was published. Garcia has also added a new chapter that shows how the methodology described in the book is applied in transportation systems. College faculty who have adopted this text have suggested improvements and these have been incorporated as well. This second edition also includes some references to the author's recent book on Vulnerability Assessment, to link the two volumes at a high level.

"Personally, I consider the first edition of this book to be a classic. For anyone who really knows security, this book is the bible. It is just the way it has to be done." --Dennis Giever, PhD, Dept. of Criminology, University of Pennsylvania
Review
Authoritative and thorough update of the book referred to as the "bible" of Physical Security!

Bought this book new! Came with someone’s expired drink coupon for Southwest airlines. Thank you P.Garcia what a lovely personal touch to a new textbook for school. Next time I will just buy through the campus bookstore, maybe it will have a non expired coupon!

Safety and Security for Supplementing Education
Reviewed in the United States on 1 February 2018Verified Purchase
This book for my Criminal Justice class has all the information I need.
This is a required book for my Criminal Justice class, as I am a university student. This book covers a lot of information, and since there's the same amount of chapters as there are class weeks (and we meet once a week), it's simple to just remember to read one chapter a week.
It's very informative and tells a lot about security measures and how to ensure security, and alongside lecture is very helpful.
I recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about security, and of course to students who are required to read this book for their class. It's informational and the chapters are well-sorted. Perhaps I can secure the places aorund me more with the help of this book.

De lo mejor en el diseño y evaluacion
Reviewed in Mexico on 28 January 2017Verified Purchase
Un buen amigo me lo recomendó pero se quedo corto con los comentarios, ampliamente recomendable, lo considero el ABC del diseño en la protección. Estaría genial que hubiera un tiraje en español para los que no andan muy bien en el ingles.

A seminal work on PPS
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 September 2016Verified Purchase
This book is a major contribution to the field of security in general terms, and of protection of assets in particular. Well organised and easy to read, this seminal work, which remains packed-up with incisive explanations, good advice and references, will seamlessly guide the reader through the meanders of physical protection. Recommended to PPS practitioners, security managers, security consultants and students alike. Well done Mary Lynn Garcia!

Super Buch
Reviewed in Germany on 2 November 2015Verified Purchase
Sehr gut!
In der deutsch sprachigen Literatur war nichts zu finden. Nun habe ich mir dieses geleistet und bin sehr zufrieden. Nur der Preis ist happig. Aber gut. Angesichts der Steuern wohl nicht zu vermeiden.
