First published in 1994. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
The entrepreneur is involved in the dance of two questions - what
is needed and what is possible. The interplay of these two
questions is an ongoing process and innovation varies
internationally and regionally, depending on differing legal and
policy systems, variations in the development of education and
skill development, in social processes and in knowledge transfer.
This book explores innovation and networks in entrepreneurship with
an interdisciplinary approach, focusing on how old and new
knowledge can be combined to produce radical innovation. These
chapters combine themes of entrepreneurship, innovation and
networks with a specifically European focus, highlighting the wide
variations at the national, regional and business level. These
variations suggest the need to break with traditional stereotypes
about Southern and Northern Europe. The book takes a Schumpeterian
perspective, emphasising the importance of looking at the history
of entrepreneurship and innovation, paying particular attention to
the neglected area of innovation in services within firms.

This internationally comparative volume contains the results of
important new research on family-owned businesses over three
centuries and on three continents. Family firms have often been
regarded as forces for conservatism and backwardness. Recent
research has questioned this interpretation, pointing rather to the
advantages of family ownership in certain contexts. The essays in
this collection provide considerable support to this revisionist
literature. They include studies of family firms in
eighteenth-century India, of Quaker firms during the British
industrial revolution, and of small firms in Victorian Edinburgh.
Leading American historian of family firms, Philip Scranton,
provides an important new study of family firms in Philadelphia in
the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. There are essays by
prominent Dutch and French business historians which survey the
structure and performance of family firms in twentieth-century
France and the Netherlands. Much of their information has never
been published previously in English. Finally, Roy Church
contributes a wide-ranging comparative study of the family firm in
the United States, Britain, Germany and Japan over the last
century. The overall conclusion of this book is that the behaviour
and performance of family firms is explained by their environment
rather than by their ownership structures. Family firms can provide
the most effective corporate form in one culture, region, industry
and time period - and they can be a competitive liability in other
contexts. On the way to reaching this conclusion, the contributors
to this volume paint a rich and colourful portrait of the diversity
and complexity of the family firm experience over thelast three
hundred years.
A brilliant portrayal of how karma works over the centuries,
Atlantis and Gaia: Magic, Reincarnation, Covid and Earth Healing
Today explains in easygoing style reincarnation and soul
healing through natural medicines such as homeopathy and herbs.
Diana Mary Rose brings famous modern-day celebrities into her
writing. We see George Harrison, for instance, as a monk, and John
Lennon as a famous peace man -Â eons before their fame today
-Â and William Shakespeare appears in a new light, too, as
this psychic author delves into his past and future lives. From
Julius Caesar and Fred Astaire to Angelina and Brad, there is no
end to interesting tales here. Everyone alive has reincarnated
multiple times over. Karma is a merry-go-round. And underpinning
the entire book is Atlantis, that mystical civilisation, for the
Atlantean light shines brightly over every aspect of society today.
An entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable read, /Atlantis and Gaia/
will introduce you to new concepts and blow your mind.
With charm, humor, and deep understanding, Monica Sone tells what
it was like to grow up Japanese American on Seattle's waterfront in
the 1930s and to be subjected to "relocation" during World War II.
Along with over one hundred thousand other persons of Japanese
ancestry--most of whom were U.S. citizens--Sone and her family were
uprooted from their home and imprisoned in a camp. Her unique and
personal account is a true classic of Asian American literature.
"Monica Sone's account of life in the relocation camps is both
fair and unsparing. It is also deeply touching, and occasionally
hilarious." ""New York Herald Tribune"
"The deepest impression that this unaffected, honest little
story made on me was of smiling courage." "-San Francisco Chronicle

This volume offers a much-needed analysis of police abuse and its
implications for our understanding of democracy. Sometimes referred
to as police violence or police repression, police abuse occurs in
all democracies. It is not an exception or a stage of
democratization. It is, this volume argues, a structural and
conceptual dimension of extant democracies. The book draws our
attention to how including the study of policing into our analyses
strengthens our understanding of democracy, including the
persistence of hybrid democracy and the decline of democracy. To
this end, the book examines three key dimensions of democracy:
citizenship, accountability, and socioeconomic (in)equality.
Drawing from political theory, comparative politics, and political
economy, the book explores cases from France, the US, India,
Argentina, Chile, South Africa, Brazil, and Canada, and reveals how
integrating police abuse can contribute to a more robust study of
democracy and government in general.
The first attempt by ordinary lay people - merchants, scriveners,
craftsmen - to write their own history, and its effect on the
growth and development of London. The early fifteenth century
witnessed the first attempt made by ordinary lay people -
merchants, scriveners, craftsmen - to write their own history, in
the so-called "London chronicles", which have had a profound effect
upon the growth and development of London. The earliest of the
extant chronicles represents the first generation of historical
writing to be undertaken in English since the Anglo-Saxon
chronicle, and reflects an important shift in the movement from a
primarily oral to a literate culture. However, despite their
significance for evidence of this change, and as a secular and
largely vernacular voice, much about the London chronicles remain a
mystery. This study, the first for over 80 years, includes
manuscripts unknown to Kingsford in his 1913 survey, studies them
in relation to each other, and draws together what can be known
about their origins, purpose and effect upon their audience. It
alsoprovides an annotated edition of the previously unpublished
text of Bradford, West Yorkshire Archives, MS 32D86/42, while a
selection of crucial events recorded in the chronicles -- such as
the Rising of 1381 and Cade's Rebellion-- is presented in an
appendix. MARY-ROSE McLAREN gained her Ph.D. from the University of
Melbourne.
Simple, practical, and inspiring tips for cooking, baking, and
cleaning! The kitchen is the "hub" of any house. With this
compilation of helpful hints, you can keep it running smoothly.
Find hacks for the care of kitchen appliances, utensils, and
cooking equipment to extend their life span. Discover easy ways to
improve and simplify your cooking and baking and advice for saving
money and making your groceries last longer. Natural products are
used wherever appropriate to encourage an environmentally friendly
home. Put a paper towel in with baked goods when freezing them. The
paper absorbs the moisture and prevents freezer burns. Place a
wooden spoon across the pot when cooking pasta and it will not boil
over. For fluffier, whiter rice, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice per 2
pints water. To add extra flavor and nutrition to rice, cook it in
liquid reserved from cooking vegetables. When making soup stock add
1 tablespoon white vinegar to help extract all the calcium from the
bones being used. There will be no vinegar taste. Poke a hole in
the middle of hamburgers while shaping them. The burgers will cook
faster and the holes will disappear when done. Instead of flouring
the rolling pin, chill the rolling pin in the freezer and the dough
will not stick. Many of the hints found here are the product of
tradition passed from one generation to another. Interspersed
throughout are poems and proverbs, as well as delightful
illustrations.

Transcendence can come in many forms. For Mary Rose O'Reilley a
year tending sheep seemed a way to seek a spirituality based not on
"climbing out of the body" but rather on existing fully in the
world, at least if she could overlook some of its earthier aspects.
The Barn at the End of the World follows O'Reilley in her
sometimes funny, sometimes moving quest. Though small in stature,
she learns to "flip" very large sheep and help them lamb. She also
visits a Buddhist monastery in France, where she studies the
practice of Mahayana Buddhism, dividing her spare time between
meditation and dreaming of French pastries.

This first comprehensive study of the Nigeria-Biafra War
(1967-1970) through the lens of gender explores the valiant and
gallant ways women carried out old and new responsibilities in
wartime and immediate postwar Nigeria. The book presents women as
embodiments of vulnerability and agency, who demonstrated
remarkable resilience and initiative, waging war on all fronts in
the face of precarious conditions and scarcities, and maximizing
opportunities occasioned by the hostilities. Women's experiences
are highlighted through critical analyses of oral interviews,
memoirs, life histories, fashion and material culture,
international legal conventions, music, as well as governmental and
non-governmental sources. The book fills the gap in the war
scholarship that has minimized women's complex experiences fifty
years after the hostilities ended. It highlights the cost of the
conflict on Nigerian women, their participation in the hostilities,
and their contributions to the survival of families, communities
and the country. The chapters present counter-narratives to
fictional and nonfictional accounts of the war, especially those
written by men, which often peripheralize or stereotypically
represent women as passive spectators or helpless victims of the
conflict; and also highlight and exaggerate women's moral laxity
and sensationalize their marital infidelities.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, and for decades
thereafter, Oregon had the second largest Chinese population in the
United States. In terms of geographical coverage, Portland's two
Chinatowns (one an urban area of brick commercial structures, one a
vegetable-gardening community of shanty dwellings) were the largest
in all of North America. Marie Rose Wong chronicles the history of
Portland's Chinatowns from their early beginnings in the 1850s
until the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the 1940s, drawing
on exhaustive primary material from the National Archives,
including more than six thousand individual immigration files,
census manuscripts, letters, and newspaper accounts. She examines
both the enforcement of Exclusion Laws in the United States and the
means by which Chinese immigrants gained illegal entry into the
country. The spatial and ethnic makeup of the combined "Old
Chinatown" afforded much more contact and accommodation between
Chinese and non-Chinese people than is usually assumed to have
occurred in Portland, and than actually may have occurred
elsewhere. Sweet Cakes, Long Journey explores the contributions
that Oregon's leaders and laws had on the development of Chinese
American community life, and the role that the early Chinese
immigrants played in determining their own community destiny and
the development of their Chinatown in its urban form and vernacular
architectural expression. Sweet Cakes, Long Journey is an original
and notable addition to the history of Portland and to the field of
Asian American studies.
