that the crisis had a negative effect on their mental health. In
the UK, the financial crisis of 2008 resulted in a rise in stress
and anxiety and a decline in physical health. When dealing with a
crisis, a business will consider the resilience of its structures
and processes or the impact on forecasts and budgets but what about
their people? Without a supported, engaged and motivated workforce,
the business won't be able to achieve its crisis recovery plans.

practical guide for all HR professionals and those responsible for
talent management. It covers how to deal with employee stress and
burnout as well as how to drive engagement, motivation and morale

GlaxoSmithKline, Rolls-Royce and Twitter, this book equips readers
to deal with a crisis as it is happening and implement longer term
post-crisis strategies. Written by an expert author team including
Professor Sir Cary Cooper, Chair of the National Board of Health
and Wellbeing at Work, this is necessary reading for all
professionals needing to deal with the health and wellbeing of
their workforce in any crisis that may arise.

This book provides practical guidance on establishing wellbeing
services and interventions within policing for all of those working
in law enforcement, particularly leaders and HR professionals. It
also offers insight, provokes thought, and gives guidance on how to
navigate and get the most from working life as a police officer or
member of police support staff. With a focus on the modern working
environment, the book covers the key concepts, history, and
practical advice necessary for all those interested in this
fascinating field of law enforcement. As workplaces become ever
more complex and ambiguous, and the world of work ever more
dynamic, understanding how organizations behave and how those in
the workplace are likely to respond is key to bringing meaning and
purpose to work, the cornerstone of effective policing. The book
details how to effectively measure workplace wellbeing in policing
and how to interpret and use findings to make improvements and
craft interventions. It is a key text for exploring law
enforcement, leadership, and wellbeing within policing for all
those involved with law enforcement, as well as HR professionals,
occupational health professionals, and critically, those with
police line management responsibilities.
Big History is a seemingly novel approach that seeks to situate
human history within a grand cosmic story of life. It claims to do
so by uniting the historical sciences in order to construct a
linear and accurate timeline of 'threshold moments' beginning with
the Big Bang and ending with the present and future development of
humanity itself. As well as examining the theory and practice of
Big History, this Element considers Big History alongside previous
largescale attempts to unite human and natural history, and
includes comparative discussions of the practices of chronology,
universal history, and the evolutionary epic.
New attitudes towards history in nineteenth-century Britain saw a
rejection of romantic, literary techniques in favour of a
professionalized, scientific methodology. The development of
history as a scientific discipline was undertaken by several key
historians of the Victorian period, influenced by German scientific
history and British natural philosophy. This study examines
parallels between the professionalization of both history and
science at the time, which have previously been overlooked. Hesketh
challenges accepted notions of a single scientific approach to
history. Instead, he draws on a variety of sources - monographs,
lectures, correspondence - from eminent Victorian historians to
uncover numerous competing discourses.
The 329 letters in this volume represent a period of immense
transition in John Tyndall's life. A noticeable spike in his extant
correspondence during the early 1850s is linked to his expanding
international network, growing reputation as a leading scientific
figure in Britain and abroad, and his employment at the Royal
Institution. By December 1854, Tyndall had firmly established
himself as a significant man of science, complete with an
influential position at the center of the British scientific
establishment. Tyndall's letters throughout the period covered by
this volume provide great insight into how he navigated a
complicated course that led him into the upper echelons of the
Victorian scientific world. And yet, while Tyndall was no longer as
anxious about his scientific future as he was in previous volumes
of his correspondence, these letters show a man struggling to come
to terms with his newfound status, a struggle that was often
reflected in his obsession with maintaining an "inflexible
integrity" that guided his actions and deeds.
Imagining the Darwinian Revolution considers the relationship
between the development of evolution and its historical
representations by focusing on the so-called Darwinian Revolution.
The very idea of the Darwinian Revolution is a historical construct
devised to help explain the changing scientific and cultural
landscape that was ushered in by Charles Darwin's singular
contribution to natural science. And yet, since at least the 1980s,
science historians have moved away from traditional "great man"
narratives to focus on the collective role that previously
neglected figures have played in formative debates of evolutionary
theory. Darwin, they argue, was not the driving force behind the
popularization of evolution in the nineteenth century. This volume
moves the conversation forward by bringing Darwin back into the
frame, recognizing that while he was not the only important
evolutionist, his name and image came to signify evolution itself,
both in the popular imagination as well as in the work and writings
of other evolutionists. Together, contributors explore how the
history of evolution has been interpreted, deployed, and exploited
to fashion the science behind our changing understandings of
evolution from the nineteenth century to the present.
