Occasional Human Sacrifice

Carl Elliott is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota. A recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a National Endowment for the Humanities Public Scholar Award, he is the author of Better Than Well and White Coat, Black Hat. He lives in Minnesota.

"Elliot doesn't end with answers to the questions of why people become whistleblowers, but that's the beauty not the failure of his book. He may not have provided the neat answers that might arise from a survey of 150 whistleblowers, but he has provided much richer, more complex, and more convincing answers than arise from such surveys."
