First sentence: This chapter is meant to serve as a brief examination of differing perspectives on the causes of terrorism, a review of psychology's offerings in dealing with terrorism (including public preparation, counter-terrorism, and response), as well as a source of content and resources on what steps individuals and groups of individuals (e.g., families, communities, businesses) can take to be better prepared in this so called new "era of terrorism."
