Colossal Words for Kids is a book of 60 hilariously illustrated
rhymes to boost vocabulary, reading skills and spelling. Each poem
in this fun and funky book teaches a specific important word, its
meaning and spelling, in an innovative and accesible way that kids
will love. Using rhythm and wordplay, the poems help build a
colossal vocabulary, thinking skills and literacy. But most of all,
this book delights young readers with the fun and silliness of the
English language. Building a colossal vocabulary has never felt so
natural, or so much fun! Each word in this collection is
defined in a simple rhyme. Using rhythm, humour and logic, each
word’s meaning is made clear and accessible. Kids will want
to try them out straight away: it’s a ready-to-use collection!
From Ambiguous to Zealous, the words in this book
are for 7–12-year olds. It may seem inconceivable for one book to
encompass such a wide age span! But in fact, inconceivable (and all
the words in this book) were selected from vocabulary lists
intended for older children, so that younger children
can challenge themselves and discover a wealth of great new
words!
This Research Handbook highlights the importance of women as agents
of change, acknowledging women entrepreneurs’ efforts and
supporting their value-creation activities. With important
implications for policymaking, contributing authors direct
attention to and provide evidence for the positive contribution of
women entrepreneurs to the economy, regardless of their
businesses’ size and formal status. Challenging the
underperformance hypothesis associated with women entrepreneurs,
chapters present evidence that women do not underperform in their
businesses, but that they add value even in constrained
environments. This intends to shift the focus of research from
questions like ‘what do entrepreneurs do?’ to ‘how do they do
it?’, focusing on the unique ways in which each woman
entrepreneur creates value, and ‘for whom do they do it?’,
looking at the multiple value outcomes women entrepreneurs create
and the beneficiaries of that value. With a global perspective on
women’s entrepreneurship and their value creation, this Research
Handbook will be vital reading for researchers of entrepreneurship,
as well as government agencies and policymakers interested in
promoting entrepreneurial activity.

Bringing together scholars from around the world, this book
provides extensive coverage of the academic literature and research
on women's entrepreneurship policy. Featuring contributions from
members of the Global Women's Entrepreneurship Policy Research
Network, the book explores and critiques contemporary policy
instruments while also pointing toward potential policy solutions.
Chapters aim to deepen understanding of women's entrepreneurship
policy and raise awareness among policy makers, programme managers
and academics of the dangers associated with gender-blind
entrepreneurship policies. The book concludes that 'one size fits
all' policies that ignore the gender dimension do not support women
entrepreneurs effectively. Research-based and international in
approach, Women's Entrepreneurship Policy will be a useful guide
for academics and advanced students in the areas of
entrepreneurship, gender and management, diversity and management,
and international business. It will also be beneficial for policy
makers and those involved in designing and delivering women's
entrepreneurship programmes.
Lissa is obsessed with Ancestral, the latest and greatest battle
arena co-op game out there-and she's really good at it. If she
wants to get to the top, she will have to band together with her
best friend Ji-Soo-and their friends Ray, Zio, Jae-Jin and Lucas-to
become Team Phoenix. With the support of former pro Esport-player,
Devon, Team Phoenix trains day and night for the upcoming Regional
Championships. But the road to victory has its twists and turns:
Lissa is haunted by the loss of her brother, Ji-Soo's got a crush
on Jae-Jin, and they're up against the number one team in the
region, Mastermind, a group of frat boys who aren't afraid to play
dirty. The odds feel stacked against them, but Team Phoenix is
determined to rise from the ashes.

'A must read for all entrepreneurship scholars because it helps us
to understand and appreciate the real and many roles of women
entrepreneurs, their relevance and importance to societies across
the World, as well as the challenges and issues women entrepreneurs
can face. An exciting and interesting read which presents us with
critical questions for the future - thank you.' - Sarah Jack,
Lancaster University Management School, UK Taking a fresh look at
how performance is defined by examining the institutional power
structures and policies, eminent scholars herein explore ways to
overcome constrained performance and encourage women?s
entrepreneurial activities through a variety of methodological
approaches and geographical contexts. Significantly, this book adds
a critical perspective to defining ?success? and ?performance?,
shattering misconceptions of underperformance in women-owned
enterprises. The contributing authors raise questions on the
limiting concept of the ?entrepreneur? and have valuable insights
into policies to facilitate female entrepreneurs. Instead of taking
a one-sided and narrow approach with regards to understanding the
entrepreneurship performance phenomenon, this book argues that
future researchers should take a fresh look at business
performance, considering structural constraints, definitions of
success and other socio-political factors. Scholars in the fields
of entrepreneurship, gender studies, and institutional theory, as
well as those who have a general interest in critical research,
will benefit from this progressive step in entrepreneurship
research. Contributors include: R. Aidis, A. Akdeniz, H. Baiya, M.

The creative industries represent a vital, exciting and rapidly
changing field of activity; one that is now recognised as a key
growth sector in the knowledge-based economy. However, there is
still a general lack of understanding of what is meant by the term
'creative industry', and thxe creative sector has not, to date,
been the subject of concerted academic research. This book
redresses the balance by providing valuable insights into the
creative entrepreneurial process and platforming some of the key
challenges yet to be addressed. A range of pertinent and diverse
topics relating to creative entrepreneurship are dealt with,
including the different quantitative and qualitative methodologies
adopted by researchers in this field. In addition, the nature of
creative entrepreneurship across different industry sub-sectors and
in different economic and geographical contexts is examined.
Illustrating the valuable economic and social contribution of the
creative industries sector, Entrepreneurship in the Creative
Industries aims to encourage policymakers, educators and trainers
to continue to evaluate their critical role in the creative
enterprise development process. Students and researchers in
entrepreneurship and creative industries fields will also find the
book to be an illuminating read.
Contemporary societies are characterised by new and more flexible
working patterns, new family structures and widening social
divisions. This book explores how these macro-level changes affect
the micro organisation of daily life, with reference to working
patterns and gender divisions in Northern and Western Europe and
the United States. Through detailed comparative analysis and case
studies from France, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the US, this
collection demonstrates how, despite globalisation and the spread
of neo-liberalism, states still exercise some autonomy in terms of
the implementation of equalities and 'city time' policies. These
policies affect people's capacity to organise their daily lives and
ameliorate the adverse impact of new working patterns. However, the
authors also show that, despite the proliferation of work-life
balance policies which potentially encourage a greater
reconciliation of caring and paid work, inequalities in the
distribution of paid work and caring between men and women remain
remarkably resilient. Bringing together academic analysis and
policy studies, Gender Divisions and Working Time in the New
Economy will appeal to students and scholars of comparative social
policy, economic sociology, economic geography and sociology. In
particular, those with an interest in issues of employment
relationships, gender, welfare states, working time, work-life
balance and 'city time' will find the book to be of great value.
The Dynamics of Industrial Collaboration revisits and reformulates
issues previously raised by inter-firm collaboration. The latest
research in collaboration, processes and evaluation of cooperation,
and industrial and research networks, is presented by way of both
empirical and theoretical studies. The authors use several
theoretical perspectives to explain inter-firm and
inter-institutional collaboration: the theory of transaction costs
and contracts, evolutionary theory, and the resource-based view.
The book illustrates that none of these approaches are dominant.
The issue of collaboration is raised in various contexts such as
the new economics, biotechnology, and the motor industry. It will
be of special interest to industrial economists and scholars of
evolutionary economics.
The transformative impacts of digitalization on society are visible
both within nation states and across borders. Information and
communication technologies are typically considered beneficial for
democracy. Nevertheless, this book explores the challenges that
technology brings to democracy, and in so doing advances our
understanding of this crucial digital, social and political
phenomenon. It contributes to the broader discussion of the
relationship between international, national and sub-national
norms, institutions and actors in an increasingly connected world.
Insightful and current, this book offers a wide variety of
perspectives in an area where there is still not yet an extensive
body of research. It considers, for example: the extent to which
new forms of digital political engagement change traditional
democratic decision-making; how receptive national governments and
authorities are to digital democratic movements; how governments
can uphold the values of democratic society while also ensuring
flexibility with regard to the private sector; and how we should
judge these developments in light of the cross-border effects of
digitalization. Understanding the influence of digitalization on
democracy is crucial. As such, this book will appeal to a broad
audience including, but not limited to, social scientists, policy
makers, legal researchers, NGOs, governments, students and lawyers.

The Collected Stories of Colette beings together in one volume for the first time in any language the comprehensive collection of short stories by the novelist known worldwide as Colette, and now acknowledged, with Proust, as the most original French narrative writer of the first half of our century. of the one hundred stories gathered here, thirty-one appear for the first time in English and another twenty-nine have been newly translated for this volume.
Two volumes of Colette's most beloved works, with a new Introduction by Judith Thurman.
Chéri, together with The Last of Chéri, is a classic story of a love affair between a very young man and a charming older woman. The amour between Fred Peloux, the beautiful gigolo known as Chéri, and the courtesan Léa de Lonval tenderly depicts the devotion that stems from desire, and is an honest account of the most human preoccupations of youth and middle age. With compassionate insight Colette paints a full-length double portrait using an impressionistic style all her own.
Towards Identity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter addresses the
theme of identification and identity in the psychoanalytic clinic
as elaborated by Jacques Lacan over the course of his teaching. In
psychoanalysis the subject who is summoned “to speak himself”,
is by definition lacking in identity. His question is “What am
I?” but, as he is only represented by his words, his being is
“always elsewhere”, within other words that are yet to come.
Thus a paradox: one seeks via speech the identity of a being who,
through his speech, is not identifiable. Yet the fact remains, he
has a body, and he is riveted to sufferings that psychoanalysis,
from Freud to Lacan, identified, which are not accidental, which we
call repetition and symptom, and which shift the question of
identity, because a One, real, is at play in them. Towards Identity
in the Psychoanalytic Encounter will be key reading for the study
and research of Lacanian psychoanalysis and all practitioners
interested in Lacan’s teaching, as well as other discourses such
as philosophy, art, literature and history.
A Galaxy of Things explores the ways in which all puppets, masks,
and makeup-prosthetic figures are "material characters," and uses
Star Wars creatures, droids, and helmeted-characters to illustrate
what makes the good ones not only compelling, but meaningful. The
book begins with author Colette Searls' Star Wars thing aesthetic,
described through a release-order overview of what creatures,
droids and masked characters have brought to 45+ years of
live-action Star Wars. Building on theories from the burgeoning
field of puppetry and material performance, it sees these "material
characters" as a group and describes three specific powers that
they share - distance, distillation, and duality - using the
ubiquitously recognizable Star Wars characters to illustrate them.
The book describes Distance, Distillation, and Duality as material
character powers, using characters like C-3PO and Jabba the Hutt to
illustrate how all three work to generate meaning. An in-depth
exploration of the original Empire Strikes Back Yoda and "Baby"
Yoda (Grogu) reveals how these two puppets use those powers to
transform their human companions: Luke Skywalker, and then Din
Djarin. Searls provides an in-depth analysis of Darth Vader's mask
trajectory across three trilogies (1977 - 2019), revealing its
contribution as a "performing thing." Finally, the book presents
problematic uses of material character powers by critiquing droids
in service, and the historical use of racial stereotypes in
characters like Jar Jar Binks, before offering a hopeful analysis
of how early 2020s live-action Star Wars began centering the non-,
semi-, and concealed human in redemptive ways. This is an
accessible exploration for students and scholars of theatre, film,
media studies and popular culture who want to better understand
puppets, masks, and makeup-prosthetic characters. Its terms and
concepts will be useful to scholarly explorations of non-, semi-,
and concealed human portrayals for a range of other fields,
including posthumanism, object-oriented ontology, ethnic studies,
and material culture.

Entrepreneurship and the Creative Economy contains a range of
theoretical and empirically based research contributions that
collectively consider and debate the process, policy and practice
of the creative economy. The 'creative economy' and the broad
spectrum of creative industries that it encompasses, is
increasingly important in the 21st century's global economy. In
challenging economic conditions, creative industries are both
politically and economically appealing with governments around the
world now recognizing their potential as a source of employment and
entrepreneurial endeavor. As such, this informative book will play
a vital part in furthering our understanding of the creative
industries and the role they play in economic development. This
enlightening compendium, researched by leading authors in the field
will prove invaluable for students, academics and researchers in
the fields of creative entrepreneurship, creative industries and
the creative economy. Contributors include: E. Allen, A. de Bruin,
T. Fuller, P.G. Greene, C. Henry, C. Mills, S.J. Norman, E. Noyes,
