Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

This book is an account of the concept of equality from the
perspective of both theory and practice, and presents methods of
quantifying values. It considers both arguments and evidence, and
tackles equality in its different forms, including economic
equality, education, equality before the law, equality of
opportunity, and gender equality. The book shows that inequality is
a profoundly moral question, noting that there are good practical
reasons for its adoption. It presents a consideration of classical
theories from Aristotle to Hume, as well as contemporary approaches
such as those offered by Rawls, Haidt, Temkin, and Parfit. It also
contemplates issues such as the naturalistic fallacy, and considers
what is different about the Goleman view of moral sensitivity and
the ethical personality. The array of evidence includes the impact
of climate and various plants such as sugar and cotton on the slave
trade, the concept of Gaia, Darwinism, sex inequality, personality,
culture, psychological issues, and the quantification of ethics.
The book concludes with some practical suggestions for improving
equality. It aims to raise awareness of the ways in which equality
can be understood, and achieved. It will be relevant to students
and scholars in philosophy, human rights, and law.

To enhance the performance of their employees, managers need to
reach an extraordinary number of decisions every day based on
information and training as well as on their experience and
instinct for what is right. But are the assumptions and beliefs
behind theses decisions always based on real evidence or do many
follow instead the latest management fad, personal opinion,
anecdotal observation, pseudo-research or just a dogged preference
for the status quo? The authors of The Science of Management:
Fighting Fads and Fallacies with Evidence-Based Practices have
collated and analysed almost 16,000 scientific research articles in
the fields of psychology and management to uncover over 800
surprising findings that contradict many common management
practices. This book presents some of these key discoveries
organised around the core management responsibilities of:
- workplace objectives
- team performance
- individual performance
- addressing undesirable behaviour
- promoting employee wellbeing
- recruitment and selection.
Highlighting and redressing these fallacies, the authors offer
the reader the opportunity to challenge many sources of bias that
contaminate our beliefs and opinions and provoke unsuitable
decisions at work.
A great read for all those involved in management and
supervision, from student to experienced practitioner level.
