Product Description
`In this book, David Lewis brings together leading international experts to address the state of whistleblowing law and policy in America, Europe, Australia and South Africa. As well as outlining recent changes to whistleblowing laws and reporting major whistleblower studies, the contributors mount convincing criticisms of current laws and suggest some significant reforms. This book will provoke new thinking among those who view whistleblowing as an important practice, as well as those who are sceptical about its value in organizational life.'
- Rodney Smith, The University of Sydney, Australia

This timely and important book assesses the impact of legislation on public interest disclosures internationally, as well as setting an agenda for future research on whistleblowing.

Combining both theoretical and practical methods, this unique book offers a detailed examination of some of the key statutory provisions in the UK and explores the way courts have interpreted them. The expert contributors compare the UK model with the different approaches taken in Australia, the US as well as the rest of Europe, and focus on the lessons that can be learned from the current practice of whistleblowing. They evaluate the contents and application of confidential reporting/whistleblowing procedures, and draw upon significant empirical research.

This book will be of great interest to academics, postgraduate students, practitioners and policymakers in the fields of employment law, human resource management, business ethics and corporate governance. ... Read more

great American literature
It's an interesting story, and very sad for much of the novel. But this is what Wallant wanted - a real person - not some literary hero larger than life, but a real person who has been pushed to every extent imaginable and merely desires to stay alive and keep moving, nothing else.

Wallant, unfortunately, died early, in his mid 30's of a sudden heart attack. Had Wallant lived and continued to write for decades, we - this country - would most certainly have a much deeper respect and appreciation for this man and for his craft. He was a writer of unmatched precision and empathy. Read this book.

Review of The Pawnbroker
This is a gripping tale of one mans loss of humanity and his regaining of it.
Mr. Wallant's untimely death cut short what would have been a brilliant writing career, although he did manage to write three other books before this one.
I am a great fan of the film, starring Rod Steiger in his breakout role, although many of the characters are the same in the film as in the book. There is great plot development from the onset, and the story really keeps you riveted to the book.
My one qualm with the authors writing is that he uses very, for lack of a better term, "poetic" descriptions of places and emotions which I found just a bit tedious.
Barring that, this is a read that I would highly recommend to anyone that wishes to explore the depths of misery and redemption.

A deeply moving work
This is a rich work whose central theme is the meaning of true humanity. It is the story of a Jew who knows the worst inhumanity in the destruction of his family in the Holocaust( Shoah) and is tested as to the possibility of coming back to life through his meetings in the new world. It is a tightly written and in a way poetic narrative, troubling and moving. A very highly recommended work.

Elegant and Powerful
Showing how one man endured the worst nightmare during World War II and how it affects him and his mind throughout his life, "The Pawnbroker" is a gripping story about loss, acceptance, family, and sacrifice.It is also a story about "moving on".It's an exceptionally well told story and a fine addition to literature and fictional prose regarding the holocaust and the lives of those that nightmare affected.

Thought provoking
This is not a book I would've picked on my own.It was a selection in a local book club.Wallant is able to describe the undescribable...holocaust, horror, longing, as well as the everyday,"...in the hallucinatory foyer before sleep..." Perfect.I'mglad that the book club has introduced me to this powerful novel, and to anauthor of this caliber. ... Read more
