brother Hazel knows that his sixth sense is never wrong. So, there

This open access edited volume explores the past, present, and
future of artificiality and sustainability in entrepreneurship -
the unforeseen consequences and ways to advance to a sustainable
future. In particular, it connects artificiality, sustainability
and entrepreneurship, intertwining artificial with the specific
phenomenon of those novel digital technologies that provoke
continuous and significant change in our lives and business. Unlike
digital entrepreneurship research, which focuses on digital
technology development and management, this book covers processes
and mechanisms of sustainable adaptability of entrepreneurs, the
business logic of start-ups, and the collaborative behaviours under
the mass digital transformation, including the prevalence of
artificial intelligence. Some of the questions that this book
answers are as follows: How has entrepreneurship reacted to such
challenges previously? What lessons have been learned and need to
be carried forward? How can entrepreneurship and the artefacts of
entrepreneurship respond to current challenges? What should be the
mindset of the entrepreneur to assure sustainable adaptation? How
to embrace and embed the new business logic?
Scholars of religion have begun to explore horror and the
monstrous, not only within the confines of the biblical text or the
traditions of religion, but also as they proliferate into popular
culture. This exploration emerges from what has long been present
in horror: an engagement with the same questions that animate
religious thought - questions about the nature of the divine,
humanity's place in the universe, the distribution of justice, and
what it means to live a good life, among many others. Such
exploration often involves a theological conversation. Theology and
Horror: Explorations of the Dark Religious Imagination pursues
questions regarding non-physical realities, spaces where both
divinity and horror dwell. Through an exploration of theology and
horror, the contributors explore how questions of spirituality,
divinity, and religious structures are raised, complicated, and
even sometimes answered (at least partially) by works of horror.

An epic story that has been beloved for generations, Watership Down
has become one of the most famous animal stories ever written.
Fiver, a young rabbit, is very worried. He senses something
terrible is about to happen to the warren. His brother Hazel knows
that his sixth sense is never wrong. So, there is nothing else for
it. They must leave immediately. And so begins a long and perilous
journey of a small band of rabbits in search of a safe home.
Fiver's vision finally leads them to Watership Down, but here they
face their most difficult challenge of all . . . __________ Richard
Adams originally began telling the story of Watership Down to his
two daughters and they insisted he publish it as a book. It quickly
became a huge success with both children and adults, and won the
Guardian Children's Fiction Award and the Carnegie Medal in 1972.
This book will advance the understanding of leadership beyond the
inherited myths and modalities of command and control. Leadership
is separated from ideas and institutional seniority and explained
as the collaborative power of one with others. Enabling the
intelligent co-participation of all people, the constructive effect
of this approach to leadership is in the engagement of people. This
is significant when task accomplishment depends not on managerial
direction, but on the interaction of people with each other, with
technical systems, and with complex regulations which are often
across jurisdictional boundaries. Examples and case studies are
included.
A collection of seven papers by social anthropologists on the
processes of decision-making in councils. Types of council
described are one community-in-council, two arena councils, an
elite council, two modern local government councils and a
non-council, a temporary negotiating group which nevertheless
displays certain features of the council proper. Most of the
examples come from Africa (including Madagascar), but there is also
an account of politics and decision-making in an English town
council. The editors discuss the papers in a comparative framework,
considering also other accounts of conciliar structure and
decision-making. They review the ways in which decisions are
reached and implemented in societies with very different structures
and activities and discuss the impact of written records, colonial
overrule and political independence. They attempt to outline some
general principles of conciliar structure and process.
Discover--or revisit--the enchanting world of the Sandleford Warren
rabbits in this first-ever illustrated edition of a celebrated

40th anniversary edition of Richard Adams' picaresque saga about a
motley band of rabbits - Watership Down is one of the most beloved
novels of our time. Sandleford Warren is in danger. Hazel's younger
brother Fiver is convinced that a great evil is about to befall the

and the grass is fat and succulent? So together Hazel and Fiver and
a few other brave rabbits secretly leave behind the safety and
strictures of the warren and hop tentatively out into a vast and
strange world. Chased by their former friends, hunted by dogs and
foxes, avoiding farms and other human threats, but making new
friends, Hazel and his fellow rabbits dream of a new life in the
emerald embrace of Watership Down . . . 'A gripping story of
rebellion in a rabbit warren and the subsequent adventures of the
rebels. Adams has a poetic eye and a gift for storytelling which

Wind in the Willows. Very funny, exciting, often moving' Evening
Standard 'A great book. A whole world is created, perfectly real in
itself, yet constituting a deep incidental comment on human
affairs' Guardian Richard Adams grew up in Berkshire, the son of a
country doctor. After an education at Oxford, he spent six years in
