""The earliest account of a Carolina-based sneak attack was reported on June 24, 1817. On that day, an elderly man named Jemmy was swimming out to his boat which had set adrift off James Island, in Charleston Harbor. Just as he had reached the boat, a large shark struck him with enough force to have supposedly sliced him in two. The shark disappeared, along with the unfortunate fisherman, who was never seen again." Enter the water on the Carolina coast and you are likely less than 100 feet from a shark. Fifty-six of the world's 500 shark species call the Carolinas home for a least a portion of the year. From the foot-long broadband lantern shark, to the great white and massive whale shark, they are drawn by same warm waters that attract tens of millions of human visitors annually. But while numbers of reported shark attacks in the Carolinas are among the highest in the world, they remain exceedingly rare: in 2019, there were eighteen ocean drownings in North and South Carolina, and only one serious and five minor injuries from shark bites. In Sharks in the Shallows, Clay Creswell, a shark bite investigator who covers North and South Carolina for the Global Shark Attack File, shares cases from the file, with reported incidents going back more than 200 years. An engaging, but non-sensational, introduction to the world of shark attacks, it covers the history of shark-human interactions in the Carolinas; shark activity in the Carolinas; profiles of the three species most likely to be involved in attacks, great white, tiger, and bull sharks, as well as others implicated in attacks; and recommendations for safe ocean use. The book also includes as complete listing of all recorded shark attacks in the region. Original black and white illustrations bring the magnificent oceandwellers to life"--

The one issue touched on repeatedly by the contributors of this publication is the difficulty of arriving at a definition of cyber terrorism. A NATO Office of Security document cautiously defines it as ""a cyber attack using or exploiting computer or communication networks to cause sufficient destruction or disruption to generate fear or to intimidate a society into an ideological goal."" But the cyber world is surely remote from what is recognized as terrorism: the bloody attacks and ethnic conflicts, or, more precisely, the politically-motivated ""intention to cause death or serious bodily h

Numerous humanly caused destructions of just the last hundred years dwarf the World Trade Center disaster, and the attention still addressed to it may over the next few years appear disproportionate. But the significance of events is always determined by the social, political, and cultural forces that are articulated through a particular event. The attack of 9/11 was an event waiting to happen, and when it did occur the even itself became a catalyst and impetus for the changing and redirection of global realities. This volume offers provocative assessments of the reaction to the event from

The Accidental American vividly illustrates the challenges and contradictions of U. S. immigration policy, and argues that, just as there is a free flow of capital in the world economy, there should be a free flow of labor. Author Rinku Sen alternates chapters telling the story of one "accidental American"--coauthor Fekkak Mamdouh, a Moroccan-born waiter at a restaurant in the World Trade Center whose life was thrown into turmoil on 9/11--with a thorough critique of current immigration policy. Sen and Mamdouh describe how members of the largely immigrant food industry workforce management
