Alfred Russel Wallace

Casa editrice: Good Press

Sinossi

In "On the Phenomena of Variation and Geographical Distribution," Alfred Russel Wallace presents a pioneering exploration of biological variation and the intricate relationship between species and their environments. Written in the mid-19th century, this seminal work is characterized by Wallace's meticulous field observations and a compelling narrative style that bridges scientific rigor with accessibility. It is set against the backdrop of natural history's golden age, as Wallace articulates the principles of biogeography and evolution, offering critical insights that would later underpin Charles Darwin's theories. This book serves as a foundational text for understanding species adaptation in relation to geographical barriers and ecological niches. Alfred Russel Wallace, a British naturalist and co-discoverer of natural selection, embarked on extensive exploratory expeditions that profoundly influenced his conclusions in this work. His travels through the Amazon rainforest and the Malay Archipelago provided him with rich empirical data that informed his theories on species distribution and variation. Wallace's unique perspective as a self-taught naturalist contributed to his innovative ideas, emphasizing the importance of environmental factors in shaping biodiversity. "On the Phenomena of Variation and Geographical Distribution" is highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of evolutionary biology, ecology, or natural history. Wallace's insights remain pertinent in contemporary discussions on environmental science and conservation, making this work essential reading for scholars, students, and nature enthusiasts alike.

The Threshold - Leading in the...

Nick Chatrath

We are living in a new age: the Age of AI. With developments emerging every day, Artificial Intelligence will soon surpass most human competencies and drastically transform technology's role in our day-to-day world. The solution for organizational leaders is not to become more like computers. In order for our organizations to survive as we stand at the threshold of a new era, we must tap into the qualities that make us uniquely human. 
 
 
 
In the face of increasingly intelligent technology, old models of leadership are becoming obsolete. In The Threshold, accomplished leadership consultant Nick Chatrath interweaves an analysis of antiquated leadership modes—the ones that leave AI-Era organizations exposed and ineffective with colleagues frustrated, unmotivated, and burnt-out—with his newly developed strategies for more effective "threshold" leadership methods. The Threshold demonstrates that adaptive, effective organizations can be built with human, emotional intelligence: cultivating stillness, nurturing independent thinking, finding rhythms of rest and performance, and raising leadership consciousness. With a basis in the ideas and practices that have shaped our organizations in the past, The Threshold illuminates how accessing advanced stages of human development can be both competitive and harmonious with AI's growing insinuation into our working world.
