Review:

"The text is great-it is interesting to read and has a great blend of theory and practice...I think the foundation supporting research on the various theories was particularly well done. Whistle blowing chapter was a gem and so on target"--Thomas E. Griffin, Indiana Wesleyan University

"The cases in the textbook are excellent in all of the chapters. They are current and there is a nice variety of issues/subjects/parties involved in the cases."--Peter L. Stone, Spartanburg Technical College
