Hi that is a good selection of books but there are also some excellent more psychology-tinged books on bullying such as:
* Snakes in Suits : When Psychopaths Go to Work (by Paul Babiak, Robert D. Hare)
* Coping with Toxic Managers, Subordinates ... and Other Difficult People: Using Emotional Intelligence to Survive and Prosper (by Roy H. Lubit)
* Toxic Coworkers: How to Deal with Dysfunctional People on the Job (by Alan A., Ph.D. Cavaiola, Neil J., Ph.D. Lavender)
* Emotional Vampires: Dealing With People Who Drain You Dry (by Albert J. Bernstein)
* In Sheep's Clothing: Understanding and Dealing with Manipulative People (by George K Simon)
* Who's Pulling Your Strings?: How to Break the Cycle of Manipulation and Regain Control of Your Life (by Harriet B. Braiker)
A fuller book list is on my home page at http://www.bullyeq.com
Bullying doesn't have a scientific definition and some psychology books just prefer to describe a range of dysfunctional behaviour by people with a range of personality disorders disorders. Much of this dysfunctional behaviour could be considered to be bullying but some people who are just awkward or difficult to deal with are probably not considered to be bullies.
I have seen the draft of Tim Field's unpublished book and unfortunately it is unpublishable as he has gone way out of his depth into the realms of psychology when really he needed a psychology co-author at the time to help him out. Anyway books like Snakes in Suits do a good job of covering the ground that I think Tim was intending to cover.
