Unlike most of the recent Anglo-centric literature that tends to focus almost exclusively on Darwin and natural selection, it follows the work of naturalists of many nationalities who used paleontology, comparative anatomy, and embryology in order to establish a linear continuity of evolving life though the long span of geological time. Thorough historical survey of the development of the concept of evolution before the publication of Darwin’s 'The Origin of Species'. Providing an alternative view of the recent literature and journal articles commemorating Darwin’s 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of publication of 'The Origin of Species'. Richly annotated with up to date information and explanations of the changing concepts and terminology as well as featuring an extensive Glossary and Biographical index.Life sciencesHistoryEvolutionary biologyPaleontology ZoologyLife Sciences, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L00004History of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/731000Evolutionary Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L21001Paleontologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G39000Zoologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25007Life sciences.History.Evolutionary biology.Paleontology .Zoology.Life Sciences, general.History of Science.Evolutionary Biology.Paleontology.Zoology.590.9McBirney Alexauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1509672Cook Stantonauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910777920103321The Philosophy of Zoology Before Darwin3741752UNINA03540nam 22005415 450 991030051070332120260630164405.03-658-19883-410.1007/978-3-658-19883-1(CKB)4100000001040307(DE-He213)978-3-658-19883-1(MiAaPQ)EBC5132292(PPN)259471801(EXLCZ)99410000000104030720171107d2018 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierDAX-Firms and Human Rights Understanding Institutional and Stakeholder Pressures along the Value Chain /by Carlo Manuel Drauth1版. 2018.Wiesbaden :Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden :Imprint: Springer VS,2018.1 online resource (XVI, 229 p. 41 illus.) Springer VS Research3-658-19882-6 Includes bibliographical references.Carlo Manuel Drauth explores under which conditions multinational enterprises systematically manage their human rights impacts with a view to preventing corporate human rights violations across their operations. Using a multi-method research design and focusing on the 30 largest German firms, the author finds that it is neither institutional forces (e.g., standards or norms) nor stakeholder pressures (e.g., from NGOs or trade unions) alone, but their combined effect that leads to a systematic human rights management at the firm-level. This finding informs a new theoretical approach to the study of CSR, integrating institutional and stakeholder theories while taking an explicit value chain perspective.
