It charts the journey of the naturalist's endeavour from prehistory to the present, underscoring the need for natural history in an era of dynamic environmental change.

Download or read book Exploiting Agility for Advantage written by David L. Francis and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-09-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many argue that all organisations should strive to be agile. Exploiting Agility for Advantage takes a radically different view. The author’s research shows that requisite agility is required, meaning ‘not too much, not too little, of the right type and delivering wanted agility deliverables’. This is a book for managers who want their enterprise to be intelligently agile but don’t know how to achieve this. Part One shows why agility is a strategic option for commercial and not-for-profit enterprises. Part Two describes, in detail, a seven-step agility-orientated development programme for work-groups or entire organisations. Part Three provides academic underpinning on organisational agility for researchers and students of management. "Agility isn’t easy and developing it is going to need much more than a simple slogan. This book offers very helpful insights into the detailed mechanisms that underpin this capability, and practical guidance around how to build and embed them."

Download or read book Joseph Wright Esq Painter and Gentleman written by Andrew Graciano and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-04-25 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andrew Graciano’s thorough study is a re-evaluation of Joseph Wright’s career and social status that demonstrates how his later landscapes, portraits and historical pictures are connected to a broader historical context, including contemporary science, industry and economics. In doing so, Graciano reinforces the idea that Wright was an intellectual painter, very much engaged with current ideas in these realms, as well as a gentleman of means beyond his artistic income, which gave him a social standing that has often been ignored by previous scholars.

Download or read book Science and Technology in the Industrial Revolution written by Albert Edward Musson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1989 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on the Industrial Revolution as experienced in Great Britain (and, within that sphere, mainly on the early development of the engineering and chemical industries), the authors develop the thesis that the interaction between theorists and men of practical affairs was much closer, more complex and more consequential than some historians of science have held it to be. Deeply researched, gracefully argued and fully documented. First published in 1969, and established now as a "classic" in the field, the present edition has a new foreword by Margaret C. Jacob.
