"Have you ever wondered why Bernie Madoff thought he could brazenly steal his clients' money? Or why investors were so easily duped by Elizabeth Holmes? Or how courageous people like Jeffrey Wigand are willing to become whistleblowers and put their careers on the line? Fraud is everywhere-from Nigerian "princes," embezzlers, and Ponzi schemers to corporate giants like Enron and Volkswagen. And fraud is costly. Each year, consumers, small businesses, governments, and corporations lose trillions of dollars. We've become so accustomed to hearing about fraud, we accept it as part of the world we live in today-so much so, that our abilities to identify it and speak about it are limited. No more. In Fool Me Once, renowned expert Kelly Richmond Pope shows fraud in action, uncovering what makes perps tick, victims so gullible, and whistleblowers so morally righteous, while also encouraging us to look at our own behaviors and motivations in the hopes of protecting ourselves and our companies. By the time you finish this book, you'll have a better understanding of-and perhaps more compassion for-perpetrators; a renewed connection to victims; and an appreciation for those who blow the whistle. Filled with fascinating stories and insightful analysis, Fool Me Once will open your eyes and challenge your thinking. It will inspire you to question your own preconceived notions and commonly held beliefs about people while providing an insider's view of a phenomenon that most of us fail to understand until it's too late"--

"Tato monografie představuje výsledky výzkumu provedeného mezinárodním týmem právních expertů v rámci Visegrádského grantu (č. 21930021) na ochranu oznamovatelů na pracovišti v zemích Visegrádské skupiny, Francii a Slovinsku (WhistlePro), financovaného Mezinárodním visegrádským fondem. Hlavním cílem projektu bylo prozkoumat právní úpravu ochrany oznamovatelů ve společnostech a dalších soukromých a veřejných institucích v zemích, jichž se studie týkala, a následně upozornit na problémy a navrhnout právní řešení související s transpozicí směrnice Evropské unie 2019/1937 ze dne 23. října 2019 o ochraně osob oznamujících porušení práva Unie do vnitrostátních právních předpisů. Publikace obsahuje mimo jiné rozbor okruhu případů, které mohou být předmětem whistleblowingu, osob, které mohou být považovány za oznamovatele a požívat ochrany whistleblowingu, a dalších subjektů chráněných z titulu jejich spojení s oznamovatelem, interních a externích postupů a kanálů pro oznamování, právních prostředků podpory oznamovatelů v jejich činnosti a jejich ochrany před odvetnými opatřeními za sdělování informací, zajištění důvěrnosti této činnosti, právní odpovědnosti za odvetu a porušení povinností vůči oznamovatelům. Tento výzkum koordinovala Právnická a správní fakulta Lodžské university ve spolupráci s Univerzitou Karlovou v Praze, Univerzitou Gáspára Károliho reformované církve v Maďarsku, Univerzitou v Mariboru, Univerzitou v Tours a Trnavskou univerzitou v Trnavě a za účasti zástupců dalších výzkumných pracovišť, veřejných institucí, sociálních partnerů, organizací občanské společnosti, podniků a právníků z praxe. Úplný obraz výzkumu v rámci projektu čtenáři najdou v knize "Towards a Better Protection of Workplace Whistleblowers in the Visegrad Countries, France and Slovenia", kterou vydalo nakladatelství Lodžské univerzity. Publikace je určena všem zájemcům o aktivity zaměřené na zlepšení právního postavení oznamovatelů na pracovišti."-- Provided by publisher.

This is the first comprehensive environmental history of California's Great Central Valley, where extensive freshwater and tidal wetlands once provided critical habitat for tens of millions of migratory waterfowl. Weaving together ecology, grassroots politics, and public policy, Philip Garone tells how California's wetlands were nearly obliterated by vast irrigation and reclamation projects, but have been brought back from the brink of total destruction by the organized efforts of duck hunters, whistle-blowing scientists, and a broad coalition of conservationists. Garone examines the many demands that have been made on the Valley's natural resources, especially by large-scale agriculture, and traces the unforeseen ecological consequences of our unrestrained manipulation of nature. He also investigates changing public and scientific attitudes that are now ushering in an era of unprecedented protection for wildlife and wetlands in California and the nation.
