We are putting a call out to authors who wish to contribute to this particular book. While the intent is to follow the suggested table of contents listed below, I am willing to consider other suggested topics for additional chapters. I will gladly accept abstracts (250-500 words) from both scholars and professionals in the fields of medicine and counterterrorism. All chapters should range from 18-30 pages in length and be written per the manuscript guidelines listed below. The submission date for each chapter is no later than October 1, 2009. Upon receiving all submissions, I will edit the book and send to the publishing company.
