Entrepreneurship in context has been described as the third wave in entrepreneurship research. Accordingly, specific socio-economic, political, market, and institutional contexts are key to fostering, enabling, and enacting entrepreneurial activity and behaviours. These contexts shape everyday entrepreneurship experiences. This book is based on the premise that how gender is articulated within the entrepreneurial debate has to acknowledge context. However, context is not a construct that only applies to those economies and situations that differ from the presumed norm of Western developed nations. Adopting a more critical appraisal of how context is positioned within current theorizing around gender and entrepreneurial behaviours offers potential to progress debate whilst acknowledging that competing and contrasting contextual influences require clearer recognition. This book, therefore, has the potential to unearth credible and robust approaches to further examining contextualisation and women entrepreneurship that advances new insights. By exploring and examining how contextual influences shape women's entrepreneurship, this book challenges the assumption that women entrepreneurship is the same throughout the world. It will be of value to researchers, academics, and students with an interest in entrepreneurship, political economy, economics, and public policy.

Hapless, pot-smoking private investigator Dave Randolph's latest investigation takes a turn for the unthinkable with a startling discovery: he is killing people in his sleep. Dave is a homicidal somnambulist, harbouring a nocturnal self responsible for a spree of gruesome vigilante killings which have left the Edinburgh authorities baffled and with no more evidence on the killer's identity than the mysterious insignia appearing in situ at each of the crime scenes; 'Dave Nocturne'. Nocturne's increasingly sloppy handiwork, however, soon leaves a trail of clues. Edinburgh Criminal Investigations Department are closing in on him and Randolph's former employer and long-term love rival is closing in on his wife. Unable to confess and condemn himself to a life without his wife and unborn child, Randolph is pitched into a frantic struggle to halt his nocturnal self's ever more wayward spree before his old foes on CID's Z-squad catch up with him. Nocturne, however, is inside his head, impervious to all attempts to stop him... "An enthralling read. Cunningham grips. An addictive concoction of realism and wit bound by an almighty dark twist."
