This book — directed to the biosecurity practitioner, generalist scientist and student — introduces overall features of the biosecurity system while walking the reader through the most up-to-date research on each step of the continuum (i.e. pre-border, border and post-border activities). This book, which explicitly incorporates economic and social dimensions as well as varied decision-making contexts, paves the way for a more systemic approach to biosecurity risk management. The work spans statistics, ecology, mathematics, economics, veterinary science, human medicine and sociology, involving collaborators across government, academia and the private sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1) This book uses a broad definition of biosecurity rather than solely focusing on plant health, animal health, security, or one step of the biosecurity system (e.g. surveillance). As such, this book is a one-stop-shop for readers interested in all aspects of biosecurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2) The content and language are accessible to a wide range of audiences, including generalist scientists, biosecurity practitioners and graduate students. More complex content is introduced in standalone boxes or chapters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3) The book follows a clear, simple structure within and among chapters (i.e. following the structure of the biosecurity system), making it a preferred option for graduate students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4) This book introduces novel cross-cutting themes, such as the importance of economic efficiency and institutional and social factors, going beyond the traditional science-based approach to biosecurity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e5) Written in partnership with government agency practitioners, this book uses on-the-ground case studies to demonstrate how biosecurity principles are applied in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca\u003e6) The book addresses challenges common to regulators in general, namely efficient regulation in \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca\u003euncertain and rapidly changing environments with multiple stakeholders who have —\u003c\/a\u003e at times — conflicting priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":45584449569006,"sku":"9781032181691","price":121.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/biosecurity-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
