Security Planning and Design: A Guide for Architects and Building Design Professionals

I bought this book because it was required for a graduate class I was taking. It was very informative and clear, not filled with a lot of jargon and technical terms that the average reader skimming through would just throw down after about 5 seconds. It was also cheaper on Amazon than at the school bookstore. I had to buy it in addition to Betty E. Biringer et al's "Security Risk Assessment and Management: A Professional Practice Guide for Protecting Buildings and Infrastructure". The two books together made the weekly online class discussions between the professor and students engaging and informative. Great books both of them.

Great. Thanks.

Combine this book with "Vulnerability Assessment of Physical Protection Systems." This book is an easy read, but it is missing the meat that you need in security.

This text book helped me get an A in physical security. The text is very easy to read. Very informative, clear and straight to the point.

This is a comprehensive book, complete with graphics that pretty much starts off as Building Security 101 and gets more intricate throughout the book. This is s good guidebook for any decision makers who need a reference manual.
