    "From a renowned historian comes a groundbreaking narrative of humanity's creation and evolution--a #1 international bestseller--that explores the ways in which biology and history have defined us and enhanced our understanding of what it means to be "human." One hundred thousand years ago, at least six different species of humans inhabited Earth. Yet today there is only one--homo sapiens. What happened to the others? And what may happen to us? Most books about the history of humanity pursue either a historical or a biological approach, but Dr. Yuval Noah Harari breaks the mold with this highly original book that begins about 70,000 years ago with the appearance of modern cognition. From examining the role evolving humans have played in the global ecosystem to charting the rise of empires, Sapiens integrates history and science to reconsider accepted narratives, connect past developments with contemporary concerns, and examine specific events within the context of larger ideas .Dr. Harari also compels us to look ahead, because over the last few decades humans have begun to bend laws of natural selection that have governed life for the past four billion years. We are acquiring the ability to design not only the world around us, but also ourselves. Where is this leading us, and what do we want to become? Featuring 27 photographs, 6 maps, and 25 illustrations/diagrams, this provocative and insightful work is sure to spark debate and is essential reading for aficionados of Jared Diamond, James Gleick, Matt Ridley, Robert Wright, and Sharon Moalem"--

    Drawing on analysis of 2004 and 2011 WERS data and extensive case studies of employee consultation bodies, this paper highlights major problems with the regulatory design and enforcement of the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 and advocates reforms to improve their effectiveness in promoting and embedding meaningful consultation arrangements. Crucially, under the current regulations, the support of 10 per cent of the workforce is necessary for employees to initiate the statutory procedures. But union engagement with the legislation has been limited, and only rarely have non-union employees self-organised to trigger their consultation rights. The regulations have therefore proved peripheral, leaving wide scope for management inaction or unilateralism, and for unenforceable and sub-standard consultation arrangements. Key amendments proposed include lowering or preferably abolishing the workforce support threshold for triggering the regulations, integrating unions into the legal framework and applying minimum standards to voluntary agreements. The May 2015 election result means that there is little or no prospect government support for such changes during the current parliament. While moves underway at EU level may lead to some regulatory reform in this area, its implications for the UK will depend on the outcome of the upcoming renegotiation of the UK’s relationship with the EU and referendum on continued UK membership.
