First cumulative supplement to the 3rd Edition now available: http://bit.ly/2t1OxGO This book provides a detailed survey of the law relating to public interest disclosure.

Since the publication of the second edition, there have been many developments in the area, including substantial procedural amendments for Employment Tribunals, major legislative changes brought in by the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (ERRA) (the first major legislative change since the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998), and the introduction of The Public Interest Disclosure (Prescribed Persons) Order 2014 SI 2014/2148 which now lists over 60 prescribed persons to whom a disclosure may be made. Written by an author team with extensive experience in the area, and making use of checklists and worked examples, this book is an essential reference work for employment practitioners dealing with cases involving public interest disclosure issues. It will also be of interest to private and public sector employers seeking guidance on whistleblowing procedures and policies.

In Subconscious Journeys, Jack Mitchell explores the human mind and its connection to life, death, disease, and the probability of extended life. Most diseases, if not all, are formed and intensified through repressed fears that form emotional barriers within the subconscious mind. Lifestyles are then conscientiously directed and enforced within the conscious mind through the growing emotional needs of the personality. Subconscious Journeys is a study of the human mind. The mind is divided into four parts: the conscious, the subconscious, the conscience, and the personality. The conscious mind allows people to knowingly initiate outer body movements and make decisions. Unfortunately, age and strong emotions, augmented by repetitious repressed fears and traumas, alter what the conscious mind has control over in regards to reasoning ability. As a result, the repressions are stored within the subconscious and form emotional barriers that disrupt conscious activity. Another part of the mind, the conscience, controls the inner workings of various parts of the body such as the heart, spleen, liver, and so on. It speaks to us in dreams and frequently communicates to the conscious during traumatic situations. People can communicate with it during therapeutic sessions by using the primary hand and labeling the four fingers as “yes,” “no,” “maybe,” and “I won't answer.” When asked specific questions regarding their repressed fears and emotions, the conscience will respond with the involuntary movement of one of the four labeled fingers. The personality is formed mostly by the time individuals are about nine or ten years old. It is formed through fearful traumas, the emulation of loved ones’ behavior, and joyful experiences. Ultimately, Subconscious Journeys addresses how the four parts of the mind function and adapt as we deal with the inherent changes in life.

ALIENS, THE BEGINNING HOW DID WE GET HERE? CANCER: WILL WE FIND A CURE? THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL GLOBAL WARMING ANALYSING THE BIBLE: THE OLD TESTAMENT ANALYSING THE BIBLE: THE NEW TESTAMENT THE END OF THE WORLD: HOW WILL IT END? “Let me begin, by asking you to answer a simple question… do you think in this vast universe of ours, that we are the only intelligent life, or are we all alone?” “First it was aerosol cans, that was causing global warming, so a substance in these cans was removed, but to no avail, it was still happening, so then it was petrol, and car injection systems were modified to emit less carbon, however this also didn’t work…” “Moses came down Mount Sinai with two stones, with five of the rules of life on each one, but, what happened to these two tablets of stone?”

Anyone who thinks ancient history is dry will think again after dipping into these ocean blues. Here, political corruption, intrigue, high-seas adventure, romance, and comedy are all presented in abundance by the likable Marcus Oppius Sabinus, a teenager with a very contemporary attitude. Marcus is unwittingly involved by his cousin in “promoting” the ambitious young Julius Caesar in an upcoming Roman election. When Marcus proves to be even better at bribery than his cousin had hoped, he is assigned a difficult and dangerous mission. He must spy on, and undermine, those who would support Cicero’s control of Rome, so that Julius Caesar can continue his power grab. The mission carries its rewards and risks. If Marcus succeeds, he will be on the inner circles of Rome’s elite. If he fails, he faces exile — or worse. Given very little choice but to accept his assignment, Marcus travels to Greece, but not before he is sidelined by shipwreck, enslavement, and pirate attack. Oh, yes, and the beginnings of love.Beautifully researched and fast-paced, The Ancient Ocean Blues is a solid story that is sure to stand the test of time and put historical fiction in a whole new light for today’s young adults.From the Trade Paperback edition.
