Natural selection, as introduced by Charles Darwin in the Origin of Species (1859), has always been a topic of great conceptual and empirical interest. This book puts Darwin's theory of evolution in historical context showing that, in important respects, his central mechanism of natural selection gives the clue to understanding the nature of organisms. Natural selection has important implications, not just for the understanding of life's history - single-celled organism to man - but also for our understanding of contemporary social norms, as well as the nature of religious belief. The book is written in clear, non-technical language, appealing not just to philosophers, historians, and biologists, but also to general readers who find thinking about important issues both challenging and exciting.

"Who Is the New How examines the principles that should guide every company's talent acquisition strategy and tells stories of the people and the companies who embody them. The authors explain how to apply those principles to find talent quickly in a finite pool and competitive environment, reduce turnover by selecting the candidates who fulfill the company's mission and will feel fulfilled, assemble the right team, and create meaningful experience for people from day one. Grounded in stories of human achievement, some of which offer a peek into famous brands that have emerged from Silicon Valley, this book is both a practical guide and a look into why finding top performers who will feel fulfilled in their role is the single most important thing a company can do."--

"This edited volume is about diversifying the teaching profession. It is unique in its inclusion of multiple dimensions of diversity; its chapters focus on a wide range of under-represented groups, including those from lower socio-economic groups, Black and minority ethnic groups, migrants, the Travelling community, the Deaf community, the LGBTQI+ community, and those of mature age. The book includes contributions from Australia, England, Iceland, Portugal, and Scotland, as well as a number of chapters from the Irish context, mostly emanating from projects funded under Ireland's Higher Education Authority's Programme for Access to Higher Education (PATH): Strand 1 - Equity of Access to Initial Teacher Education. The book also critically engages the rationale for diversifying the profession, arguing not only that representation still matters, but also that ultimately teacher diversity work needs to encompass system transformation to achieve a diverse, equitable, and inclusive teaching profession"--
