Written by an experienced law-enforcement officer, this treats home security in the broadest sense. While Wacker focuses on measures for securing doors and windows, installing alarm systems, and stashing valuables, he also deals with fire safety, auto and boat theft, sexual assault, child molestation, and consumer fraud. He covers them all in a concise, well-researched manner, appending easy-to-use safety or security checklists to most chapters. The text is peppered with references to specific security products, and a lengthy appendix gives names and addresses of manufacturers and associations as well as an extensive list of published sources of additional information. Highly recommended as a practical guide to a timely topic.-- Bill Demo, Tompkins Cortland Community Coll., Dryden, N.Y. do-it-yourselfers take note: LJ needs reviewers for the whole range of how-to books, from home repair to stereo repair, from woodworking to wiring, from building a boat to building a pool.
