Currently, very little academic research exists on the intersection
of entrepreneurship and philanthropy. This unique Handbook fills
that gap, exploring how and why entrepreneurs who drive success in
the for-profit world become engaged in philanthropy. Top scholars
in the fields of family business, entrepreneurship and philanthropy
explore the many facets of this fascinating subject.These expert
contributors explore an exciting new field of research on
entrepreneur philanthropists who have generated wealth through the
creation and development of their own business enterprises. The
book offers a broad overview of entrepreneurship and philanthropy,
along with a focus on specific groups of entrepreneur
philanthropists (including women, Black Americans,
multi-generational family companies and technology entrepreneurs)
and a selection of case studies from around the world. This
pioneering Handbook will appeal to scholars in the fields of
business, entrepreneurship, nonprofit and philanthropic studies,
public policy and administration, as well as practitioners and

No matter what you teach, there is a 100 Ideas title for you! The
100 Ideas series offers teachers practical, easy-to-implement
strategies and activities for the classroom. Each author is an
expert in their field and is passionate about sharing best practice
with their peers. Each title includes at least ten additional
extra-creative Bonus Ideas that won't fail to inspire and engage
all learners. _______________ How do you teach a subject that has
no 'right' answers? Philosophical and ethical concepts can be
overwhelming to students who have not encountered them before, and
complex arguments can be difficult to navigate. John L. Taylor's
book will help you to engage your class and have them reading,
writing, talking and thinking philosophically. Starting with
introductory ideas such as 'a guided tour of philosophy land', the
book moves on to ideas for stimulating and managing student
discussions and debates, guidance for effective research, and
methods to support students with their essays, presentations and
projects. There are also tips for getting the best out of quieter
students, and ideas for taking philosophy beyond the classroom.
Hashtags and websites providing resources to enliven your classes
are included throughout the book.
In a scholarly career spanning five decades, Rhoda Rappaport
published perceptive analyses of science in the culture of early
Modern Europe, France in particular, with strong emphasis on
geology's early development. Of the sixteen papers in this volume,
most focus on aspects of geology's cultivation during the 'long'
18th century, from the times of Hooke, Leibniz, and Fontenelle to
those of Lavoisier, Werner, and Cuvier. Among the topics most
closely treated here are the French mineralogical mapping project
initiated by Guettard; contemporary efforts to interpret the earth
historically (such as through Noah's Flood); and difficulties
presented by the vocabulary often used in traditional histories of
geology. Much of Rappaport's research addressed two problems
prevalent within 18th-century earth science: the proper
understanding of petrifactions, or fossil objects; and struggles to
establish reliable knowledge of the earth's past. She also examined
the chemistry of G.-F. Rouelle, which she saw as effectively an
attempt at systematic comprehension of the entire mineral realm;
trans-national features of scientific pursuits as illustrated in
the careers of the naturalist Vallisneri and the mineralogist (and
philosophe) d'Holbach; and aspects of science's promotion in France
through government patronage and academic privilege.

Cystic Fibrosis has seen dramatic advances in treatment since the
last edition, including targeted cystic fibrosis transmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR) protein modulators for most CFTR gene
abnormalities. This new 5th edition is an update of the rapid
clinical and scientific advances in improving prognosis, and the
impact of CoVID-19, which has transformed conventional models of
care. It covers basic science, such as how detailed understanding
of the biology of the CFTR gene and protein has led to novel and
beneficial therapies, as well as all aspects of clinical management
in high-, middle- and low-income settings, and the voices of
patients from across the world. It will be a useful reference for
clinicians across the whole multidisciplinary team, scientists, and
students. Key Features: • Follows an appealing organisation of
chapters, by developing fundamental knowledge of the reader before
moving on to more complex or developing topics. • Presents a
comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date text, integrating
basic science and clinical aspects of Cystic Fibrosis with a wealth
of accompanying high quality videos, providing an attractive read
for clinicians, trainee doctors, and scientists. • Draws on
global expertise and reflects best evidence-based practice from
experts doing cutting edge clinical and basic science research from
around the world.

Secrets of Eve: Unerstanding the Mystgery of Female Sexuality
offers a fuller conprehension of female sexuality that will help
bridge the gap between the sexes and strengthen our resolve to
celebrate God's design for our sexuality.
Preposterous as it sounds, we are not who we seem to be. Not even
close. At the heart of this misperception is our deep-seated
conviction of free choice. Based on emerging neurobehavioral
science findings, The Deceptive Brain makes the case for human
experience as a narrative illusion-an executive summary of
sorts-that emerges from an incredibly complex brain. The Deceptive
Brain drills down on what this finding means for the way we blame
and punish, and presents a bold alternative approach to criminal
justice based on blameless responsibility.
Lance Taylor uses structuralist models to examine the issues of
short-term fluctuations and long-term growth in developing
economies.
Biosecurity is the assessment and management of potentially
dangerous infectious diseases, quarantined pests, invasive (alien)
species, living modified organisms, and biological weapons. It is a
holistic concept of direct relevance to the sustainability of
agriculture, food safety, and the protection of human populations
(including bio-terrorism), the environment, and biodiversity.
Biosecurity is a relatively new concept that has become
increasingly prevalent in academic, policy and media circles, and
needs a more comprehensive and inter-disciplinary approach to take
into account mobility, globalisation and climate change. In this
introductory volume, biosecurity is presented as a governance
approach to a set of concerns that span the protection of
indigenous biological organisms, agricultural systems and human
health, from invasive pests and diseases. It describes the ways in
which biosecurity is understood and theorized in different subject
disciplines, including anthropology, political theory, ecology,
geography and environmental management. It examines the different
scientific and knowledge practices connected to biosecurity
governance, including legal regimes, ecology, risk management and
alternative knowledges. The geopolitics of biosecurity is
considered in terms of health, biopolitics and trade governance at
the global scale. Finally, biosecurity as an approach to actively
secure the future is assessed in the context of future risk and
uncertainties, such as globalization and climate change.
The sixth edition of this classic text continues its popular
interdisciplinary approach to the topic of leadership by examining
fundamental elements of military leadership: the 'process' of
leadership, the dynamic personal interactions between leader and
followers, and the individual and organizational values that foster
effective military leadership. Military Leadership provides a
thoroughly reconsidered and greatly expanded mix of classic and
contemporary articles as well as original essays, with authors
representing all of the services. Incisive introductory essays to
each section highlight themes and connections. Eric B. Rosenbach
joins the editorial team for this edition, helping infuse the text
with fresh perspectives. The essays of the sixth edition confront
the kudos and criticisms that surround military leadership today,
offer international viewpoints, and relate military leadership to
contemporary leadership theory and approaches.
Series Information: Crosscurrents in African American History
This work is based on the proceedings of the seventh conference of
the Society for Menstrual Cycle Research held at the University of
Michigan in Arbor in June 1987. It discusses such topics as the
experience of menstruation, perimenstrual symptoms and premenstrual
syndrome and menopause.
This collection of 12 new essays will tell the story of how the
gradual transformation of industrial society into service-driven
postindustrial society affected black life and culture in the city
between 1900 and 1950, and it will shed light on the development of
those forces that wreaked havoc in the lives of African Americans
in the succeeding epoch. The book will examine the black urban
experience in the northern, southern and western regions of the
U.S. and will be thematically organized around the themes of work,
community, city buliding, and protest. the analytic focus will be
on the efforts of African Americans to find work and build
communities in a constant ly changing economy and urban
environments, tinged with racism, hostility, and the notions of
white supremacy. Some chapters will be based on original research,
while others will represent a systhesis of existing literature on
that topic

Rethinking LGBTQIA Students and Collegiate Contexts situates and
problematizes identity interaction, campus life, student
experiences, and the effectiveness of services, programs, and
policies affecting LGBTQIA college students at both two- and
four-year institutions. This volume draws from intersectional and
critical perspectives to explore the complex ways in which LGBTQIA
identities are shaped, discussed, and researched in higher
education spaces. Chapters provide student affairs and higher
education scholars with theory and practice perspectives on
sociopolitical and historical contexts, student learning and
development, support services, and explore how higher education
reflects society's pervasive stereotypes and lack of awareness of
LGBTQIA students' identity development and needs.
This book brings together the major techniques used in the
isolation or enrichment of individual populations of organelles and
other subcellular structures from plants with the goal that, by
being able to isolate subcellular structures, the research and
understanding of various facets of compartmentalized function in
plant cells can be advanced. Written for the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology series, expert contributors provide
chapters that contain introductions to their respective topics,
lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on
troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and
practical, Isolation of Plant Organelles and Structures: Methods
and Protocols will greatly aid those who regularly isolate
subcellular components as well as those whose research has lead
them to focus on a subcellular compartment or a particular process
for the first time, thus producing the need to be able to isolate
it or enrich it for study.
