Book Reviews : Becoming a Top Woman Manager

One must, however, take issue with the title. The book is not merely a ’guidebook’: it is a formidable, comprehensive text covering in detail all Australian jurisdictions and legislation (both old and new), the author’s disquiet expressed in the preface notwithstanding. The book is the result of painstaking comparative jurisdictional study, highlighting and analysing similarities and disparities, whilst incorporating international trends and issues as well. The book is invaluable to students and practitioners alike. The author’s style is clear and concise. Significant decisions are considered in appropriate factual and analytical detail, while footnotes carry the reader to alternative viewpoints and conflicting authorities, in detail. Readers of previous editions will identify new chapters in the third edition, consistent with the ambitious, enlarged coverage of the subject. A common pitfall of multijurisdictional authorship is avoided, in that both accuracy and specific jurisdiction nuance remain intact. Specifically, new materials concerning health and safety provisions in industrial awards, and integrated workers compensation and occupational health and safety schemes are given detailed consideration. Common law claims (other than claims against employers, following the advent of WorkCover) and their increasing relevance in occupational health and safety law and practice are detailed, such inclusion having been specifically invited by the recent Australian Law Reform Commission reference on product liability. The ordering of the book has been changed to more appropriately accord with the structure of legislation, and to make parallel study of text and legislation simple. The significant operative legislative provisions are clearly identified in the text. Such a structure will facilitate future incorporation of legislative developments, again to the advantage of the reader. The book examines and contrasts new and old styles of legislation, the general giving way to the specific, in turn reflecting the increasing contemporary significance of such laws in the courts, workplace and community. The Guidebook to Australian Occupational Health and Safety Laws (3rd edition) is highly recommended to any individual involved in this area of law.
