Dying on the Job is the first book on workplace violence to focus exclusively on workplace murder. While some perpetrators are certainly mentally impaired, many workplace murders are committed by people considered to be "normal." Brown explores the various motives and drives that spark workplace murder, and answers hundreds of questions that are usually asked only after a workplace murder rampage has already occurred. Why do men fired from their jobs, take between 7  to 8 weeks to return to the job site to kill their boss in revenge? Why do women come to this decision in less than an hour?  What common, everyday object have women used to murder and maim male coworkers and bosses, but which has never been used to harm another woman on the job? How can people more easily spot those likely to commit workplace murder? What are some of the warning signs?  The answers to these questions and more are based on more than 350 actual cases of workplace murder, and the answers are often surprising. Brown also addresses different areas of prevention, counseling, and rehabilitation, and analyzes different approaches to gun control for both management and employees to make their job a safer place to work. As a professor in labor law, I was very impressed by the fact that the author provided answers to [his] questions. Rarely does a book do both. This is especially the case in the connections he makes between U.S. gun culture and [its role in] the 21st century global marketplace. Mr. Brown has written a fantastic book, with extensive research, and a fascinating array of arguments never before made, even by the top scholars in the area of labor & employment law. Highly Recommended." Clifford McKinnon, * * * * * See books.indiangiftsportal.com/book/dying-job-ronald-d-brown/9781442218437 Dwight P. Stone * * * * * I just finished reading this book, Dying on the Job , by Ronald D. Brown. As a retired Human Resources manager, I have read dozens of books on workplace violence. But this book, which focuses on workplace murder, is truly in a class by itself. This book informs, this book invites reflection. This book dazzles... [T]he breadth of knowledge, his analytical skills, ideas, observations, and expertise are all on impressive display here... He's especially insightful in how he draws from almost every area -- liberal arts, the sciences, movies, culture, books, art and film -- to make a point. (His analyses of gun control alone are worth the price of admission!) All suggest an unusual intellectual capacity, and a way of thinking about people, us, and our place in the global world....[A] dazzling, fascinating read for almost everyone, but for book lovers in particular -- sit back, enjoy, and hang on! (Some of the footnotes alone are brilliant!) A brilliant debut... Cornell West, Fareed Zakaria, Tavis Smiley, Charlie Rose, Tyson, Malcolm Gladwell, etc., Move over! A new public intellectual is in town! Very impressive. RedPepper, redpepperbooks.co.za Ronald D.
