• In-depth analysis of the essence of security
• Explanation of key security-related categories
• Author's approach to security science sub-disciplines
• Justification based on international literature on the subject
• Distinction between measures to counter threats and the state of security
• Concept of the research subject and sub-disciplines of security sciences
• Protection and defense system as the elimination of threats

The author distinguishes three main currents in his work. The first concerns the elucidation of the essence of science, the second focuses on issues related to determining the essence of security and related categories, and the third current focuses on the essence of security sciences and the sub-disciplines of these sciences.

In the review by Prof. Dr. habil. Jarosław Wołejszo emphasized that the author convincingly argues that a clear distinction must be made between actions aimed at countering threats and the state of security. Where social groups are concerned, we speak of a protection and defense system. This type of action is not part of security, but an action to eliminate threats, i.e. an action aimed at defense and protection, which can be understood as a continuous process of ensuring the security of all entities. Such actions form the basis of security.

The book "Security and Security Sciences" is not only a theoretical analysis, but also a practical look at security-related issues. The author presents a wide range of knowledge that can be used in various fields, from crisis management to security education. This publication is a valuable contribution to the development of security sciences and deserves the attention of all those who want to expand their knowledge in this area.
