'This book is written to help human resource professionals working in the HE sector understand what the current issues are surrounding workplace bullying. Although set in a USA context this does not limit the appeal or usefulness of the book; topics range from the current, limited, empirical research literature through to the different sub-cultures and biases that exist within financially restrained, historically bound,institutions. It also provides well-researched observations on the legal and ethical implications of bullying' Damian Stoupe, Counselling at Work, 2013
