In recent decades, governments have promoted social enterprise as a
means to address welfare and tackle disadvantage. Early academic
work on social enterprises reflected this development and engaged
with their ability to deliver and create jobs, work towards
remedial environmental goals, and address a range of societal
challenges. More recently, researchers have started to investigate
the broader potential of social enterprise for the wellbeing of
people and the planet. In this context, this book aims to answer
the question: In what ways can social enterprises improve the
health and wellbeing of individuals and communities? The chapters
in this edited collection take different perspectives on assessing
how social enterprises address disadvantage and deliver health and
wellbeing impacts. Drawing on evidence from international research
studies, Social Enterprise, Health, and Wellbeing: Theory, Methods,
and Practice presents the 'first wave' of innovative research on
this topic and provides a platform of evidence to inspire the next
generation of scholarly and policy interest. Drawing on the cutting
edge of interdisciplinary research in the field, this book will be
of interest to researchers, academics, policymakers, and students
in the fields of entrepreneurship, public and social policy,
community development, public health, human geography, and urban
planning.
This ambitious work aims to shed new light on the relations between
Husserlian phenomenology and the present-day efforts toward a
scientific theory of cognition--with its complex structure of
disciplines, levels of explanation, and conflicting hypotheses.
The book's primary goal is not to present a new exegesis of
Husserl's writings, although it does not dismiss the importance of
such interpretive and critical work. Rather, the contributors
assess the extent to which the kind of phenomenological
investigation Husserl initiated favors the construction of a
scientific theory of cognition, particularly in contributing to
specific contemporary theories either by complementing or by
questioning them. What clearly emerges is that Husserlian
phenomenology cannot become instrumental in developing cognitive
science without undergoing a substantial transformation. Therefore,
the central concern of this book is not only the progress of
contemporary theories of cognition but also the reorientation of
Husserlian phenomenology.
Because a single volume could never encompass the numerous facets
of this dual aim, the contributors focus on the issue of
naturalization. This perspective is far-reaching enough to allow
for the coverage of a great variety of topics, ranging from general
structures of intentionality, to the nature of the founding
epistemological and ontological principles of cognitive science, to
analyses of temporality and perception and the mathematical
modeling of their phenomenological description.
This book, then, is a collective reflection on the possibility of
utilizing a naturalized Husserlian phenomenology to contribute to a
scientific theory of cognition that fills the explanatory gap
between the phenomenological mind and brain.

The years from 1934 to 1937 were a time during which the British
Empire was confronted with the emergence of the triple threat of
Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. The goal of
British policy was easily defined: the protection and promotion of
Britain's vast interests. While Neville Chamberlain and Sir Robert
Vansittart agreed on the goal, they disagreed on the means to
achieve it. Their disagreement stemmed partly from their different
understandings of the nature of the Third Reich; Vansittart
understood better than Chamberlain the implications of Hitler's
Weltanschauung. But their different strategies also reflected the
fact that Chamberlain did not share Vansittart's belief in the
necessity of pursuing alliance diplomacy to protect the world-wide
security and interests of the British Empire. While the prime
minister realized that Britain's problems were global in scope, he
thought Britain could solve each problem on a bilateral basis. In
other words, Britain should approach Germany, Japan, and Italy
directly to settle outstanding disputes. Vansittart did not
believe, however, that Britain's problems could be solved on a
bilateral basis, for the interdependence of events in every region
of the globe militated against bilateral solutions.

Pits and Boots derives from excavations carried out in 2007-8, in
advance of an extension to the Bon Accord Centre in Aberdeen, that
uncovered the backlands of an area that would have formed part of
the industrial quarter of the medieval town. The site is well-dated
by dendrochronology, augmented by artefactual evidence, and
indicates activity from the late 12th century AD into the early
modern period, with a particularly intensive period in the 13th
century. Structural evidence consists primarily of the backland
boundaries, hearth/ovens, several wood-lined wells and many large
pits. It is the contents of these pits and wells which forms the
core of this monograph. The waterlogged conditions within the pits
and wells has meant that a remarkable assemblage of organic remains
including leather, wooden artefacts, textiles, animal pelts,
fibres, and cordage has survived. The leather assemblage is the
largest ever to be found in Scotland and has revealed a range of
activities associated with the use of animal hides, from hide
processing to tanning and shoemaking. The wood assemblage is also
extensive and includes bowls, platters, coopered vessels and tools.
Metalwork, crucibles, clay mould fragments and ceramics all testify
to the industrial nature of the area, while the large quantities of
animal and fishbone demonstrate that butchery on an industrial
scale took place in the area. The excavation charts the changing
nature of this once-peripheral area of Aberdeen, from an industrial
zone in the medieval period, to horticultural and domestic spaces
in post-medieval times, and has thus greatly enhanced our knowledge
of Scottish urban development.
Antebellum slave narratives have taken pride of place in the
American literary canon. Once ignored, disparaged, or simply
forgotten, the autobiographical narratives of Frederick Douglass,
Harriet Jacobs, and other formerly enslaved men and women are now
widely read and studied. One key aspect of the genre, however, has
been left unexamined: its materiality. What did original editions
of slave narratives look like? How were these books circulated? Who
read them? In Fugitive Texts, MichaEl Roy offers the first
book-length study of the slave narrative as a material artifact.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, he reconstructs the publication
histories of a number of famous and lesser-known narratives,
placing them against the changing backdrop of antebellum print
culture. Slave narratives, he shows, were produced through a
variety of print networks. Remarkably few were published under the
full control of white-led antislavery societies; most were
self-published and distributed by the authors, while some were
issued by commercial publishers who hoped to capitalize on the
success of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. The material
lives of these texts, Roy argues, did not end within the pages.
Antebellum slave narratives were "fugitive texts" apt to be
embodied in various written, oral, and visual forms. Published to
rave reviews in French, Fugitive Texts illuminates the
heterogeneous nature of a genre often described in monolithic terms
and ultimately paves the way for a redefinition of the literary
form we have come to recognize as "the slave narrative."
