The first biography of one of Georgian England’s most notorious figures, who thrived on scandal, fracas, and the cultivation of notoriety. Despite this he managed to make contributions to diverse fields, including botany, geology, literature, medicine and the professionalization of science, whose value has stood the test of time. Hill appears here in the company of other illuminati such as Samuel Johnson, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne, Oliver Goldsmith, Christopher Smart, Linnaeus, Haller and the Fellows of the Royal Society.
Hill and Kenyon explain the fundamental changes in the drive to achieve equality and diversity in the workplace. Their book takes a task based approach, suggesting legal solutions to discrete practical problems, and providing clear guidance to enable practitioners to tackle individual problems they might encounter.
