This innovative book takes seriously the ordinary activities of
entrepreneurship and maps out new pathways for scholars to
understand the nature, properties, and implications of studying
practices for entrepreneurship studies. Entrepreneurship is neither
an art nor a science, but a bundle of practices, as Peter Drucker
once observed. Curiously however, academic research on
entrepreneurship mostly abstracts away from practical activity. In
contrast, Entrepreneurship As Practice takes ordinary activities of
entrepreneurship seriously by mapping out new pathways for scholars
to consider the everyday practices through which entrepreneurship
occurs. Each chapter draws on contemporary theories of practice to
illuminate the nature, properties, and implications of studying the
practices of entrepreneurship. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal
Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

The "Historia Regum Britanniae" (English: The History of the Kings
of Britain) is a pseudo-historical account of British history,
written circa 1136 by Geoffrey of Monmouth. It chronicles the lives
of the kings of the Britons in a chronological narrative spanning a
time of two thousand years, beginning with the Trojans founding the
British nation and continuing until the Anglo-Saxons assumed
control of much of Britain around the 7th century. Geoffrey's
account can be seen to be wildly inaccurate - but it remains a
valuable piece of medieval literature, which contains the earliest
known version of the story of King Lear and his three daughters,
and introduced non-Welsh-speakers to the legend of King Arthur.
Geoffrey of Monmouth (circa 1100 - 1155) was a cleric and one of
the major figures in the development of British historiography and
the popularity of tales of King Arthur. He is best known for his
chronicle Historia Regum Britanniae ("History of the Kings of
Britain"), which was widely popular in its day and was credited,
well into the 16th century, being translated into various other
languages from its original Latin.
Summer reading programs for first-year students should be focused
on the needs of those students. This book moves away from the
paradigm of using general audience novels for summer reading
programs. It is a high-impact book written by experienced
first-year educators for this specific student audience. The
content articulates to students how a college education can improve
quality of their life. The goals of liberal learning, diversity
education, and humanity are integrated by educating students about
the narrowness of ethnocentric and egocentric perspectives,
broadening one's vision to embrace diverse perspectives, and
deepening self-awareness. Primary purposes: Motivational New
students will be inspired and excited about their upcoming college
experience. They will learn how college will be distinctively
different from their prior compulsory educational experiences, and
how it has the potential to improve the quality of their lives in
multiple ways. Contextual It provides new students with an
overarching ""big picture"" context that helps them make sense of
their upcoming college experience. It will enable them to ""see the
forest before they get lost in the trees."" Preparatory New
students will be ready to ""hit the ground running"" when they
first step foot on campus. It provides them with high-impact
strategies that can have a direct and immediate effect on their
success during the critical first term of college.
