Most leadership research has been undertaken in corporate contexts
and little attention has been given to leadership development in
entrepreneurial and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This
book argues that the study of entrepreneurs as leaders is a gap in
both the leadership and the entrepreneurship literatures. The
impact of leaders is a crucial factor in the success or failure of
smaller entrepreneurial firms and has implications for our
understanding of new venture viability and growth. Featuring
conceptual and empirical chapters from a wide range of cultures and
entrepreneurship and leadership ecosystems, this Research Handbook
is the first of its kind to present a systematic overview of the
entrepreneurial leadership field, providing a state-of-the-art
perspective and highlighting unanswered questions and opportunities
for further research. It consolidates existing theory development,
stimulates new conceptual thinking and includes path-breaking
empirical explorations. With its international perspective
illustrating the practice of entrepreneurial leadership in a wide
range of organizational contexts, the Research Handbook on
Entrepreneurship and Leadership offers an essential reference to
students and researchers in entrepreneurship and leadership alike.

At the Heart of the Borderlands is the first book-length study of
Africans and Afro-descendants in the frontiers of Spanish America.
While people of African descent have formed part of most
borderlands' histories, this study recognizes and explains their
critical contribution to the formation of frontier spaces. Lack of
imperial control coupled with Spain's desperation for settlers and
soldiers in frontier areas facilitated the social mobility of
Afro-descendants. This need allowed African descendants to become
not just members of borderland societies but leaders of it as well.
They were essential actors in helping to shape the limits of the
Spanish empire. Africans and Afro-descendants built, opposed, and
shaped Spanish hegemony in the borderlands, taking on roles that
would have been impossible or difficult in colonial centers due to
the socio-racial hierarchy of imperial policies and practices.

Originally published in 1995. This book argues that, in order to
fulfil its task of moving schools and colleges forward to meet the
demands of the future, the management of education must be inspired
by both value and vision, applied to the actual management of
people and resources. Part 1 examines key critical issues that
should guide principles of school and college management. Part 2
identifies key aspects of the management and leadership of people,
including case studies of effective team leadership. Part 3 deals
with the management of all educational resources to achieve
improvement and success in schools and colleges.

"Current Sources and Voltage References" provides fixed,
well-regulated levels of current or voltage within a circuit. These
are two of the most important "building blocks" of analog circuits,
and are typically used in creating most analog IC designs.
Part 1 shows the reader how current sources are created, how they
can be optimized, and how they can be utilized by the OEM circuit
designer. The book serves as a "must-have" reference for the
successful development of precision circuit applications. It shows
practical examples using either BJTs, FETs, precision op amps, or
even matched CMOS arrays being used to create highly accurate
current source designs, ranging from nanoAmps to Amps. In each
chapter the most important characteristics of the particular
semiconductor type being studied are carefully reviewed. This not
only serves as a helpful refresher for experienced engineers, but
also as a good foundation for all EE student coursework, and
includes device models and relevant equations.
Part 2 focuses on semiconductor voltage references, from their
design to their various practical enhancements. It ranges from the
simple Zener diode to today's most advanced topologies, including
Analog Devices' XFET(R) and Intersil's FGA(TM) (invented while this
book was being written). Over 300 applications and circuit diagrams
are shown throughout this easy-to-read, practical reference book.
* Discusses how to design low-noise, precision current sources
using matched transistor pairs.
* Explains the design of high power current sources with power
MOSFETs
* Gives proven techniques to reduce drift and improve accuracy in
voltage references.
"Britain in the Middle East" provides a comprehensive survey of
British involvement in the Middle East, exploring their mutual
construction and influence across the entire historical sweep of
their relationship. In the 17th century, Britain was establishing
trade links in the Middle East, using its position in India to
increasingly exclude other European powers. Over the coming
centuries this commercial influence developed into political power
and finally formal empire, as the British sought to control their
regional hegemony through military force. Robert Harrison charts
this relationship, exploring how the Middle East served as the
launchpad for British offensive action in the World Wars, and how
resentment against colonial rule in the region led ultimately to
political and Islamic revolutions and Britain's demise as a global,
imperial power.

These Reflections consist of 106 short essays and stories written
over a three year period. The chapters are in chronological order
in the hope that this will enable the reader to see the evolution
and growth of his understanding. His initial concept of Generosity
was focused solely on one's financial commitment to the church's
Budget. Campaign. His early writings illustrate this focus.
Gradually his view expanded as he realized there is far more to
Generosity than just responding to the offering plate as it is
passed. Serving as Chairman of the Stewardship further broadened
his vision. With two successful campaigns behind him, he completed
three years on the Session and began to focus on an even broader
understanding of Generosity. He and his wife, Carol Anne, have come
to appreciate that Generosity is so much more than just giving
money and can be life changing. They invite you to join them on
this adventure.
This work reexamines the British invasion of Egypt in 1882.
Gladstone systematically created a rationale for intervention
against Arabi and the national movement in Egypt toward
independence, provoked the Alexandria Riots but blamed Arabi for
them, and used them to justify Wolseley's expedition, already
planned, "to save Egypt." These actions annihilated Egypt's
constitutional movement and produced a prolonged racist occupation;
divided the Liberal Party; inspired neo-imperialism; and isolated
Britain from the Ottoman Empire and the European Powers until the
First World War.
For Principle of Accounting Courses Students understand (or "get
it") right after you do a problem in class. However, as soon as
they leave class, their ability to do the problems and complete
their homework diminishes with each passing hour. Often times this
results in students struggling to complete their homework on their
own. Even worse, the frustration can lead to students quitting on
the material altogether and falling behind in the course. As a
result, an entire class can fall behind as instructors attempt to
keep everyone on the same page. With the "Accounting 8e" Student
Learning System, all features of the student textbook, study
resources and online homework system are designed to work together
to provide students with more "I Get It!" moments. The consistency,
repetition and strong details throughout the entire student
learning system allow students to achieve success both inside and
outside the classroom while keeping both instructors and students
on track.
"Financial Accounting" helps students "nail" the accounting cycle
up front in order to increase success and retention later on. The
concepts and mechanics students learn in the critical 'accounting
cycle' chapters are used consistently and repetitively-and with
clear-cut details and explanations-throughout the remainder of the
text, minimizing confusion. A solid enhancement to already solid
fundamentals, the eighth edition now features new co-author Bill
Thomas of Baylor University who brings his expertise on auditing,
ethics, and internal controls to key sections of the book.
