Contextualizing Entrepreneurship Theory will critically review the current debate and existing literature on contexts and entrepreneurship and use this to synthesize new theoretical and methodological frameworks that point to important directions for future research.

This book describes how the tenets of popular religion affect building and renovation practices and describes how modernist attempts to suppress popular religion in Asia in the early and mid-twentieth century impact religious heritage. Author Denis Byrne argues that the campaign by archaeologists and heritage professionals against the private collecting and looting of antiquities in Asia largely ignores the regimes of value which heritage discourse has helped erect and into which collectors and local diggers play. Focussing on the Philippines, Thailand, and Taiwan but also referencing China and other parts of Southeast Asia, richly detailed portraits are provided of the way people live with `old things¿ and are affected by them. Narratives of the author¿s fieldwork are woven into arguments built upon an extensive and penetrating reading of the historical and anthropological literature. The critical stance embodied in the title is balanced by the optimism of the book¿s vision of a different practice of heritage, advocating a view of heritage objects as vibrant, agentic things enfolded in social practice rather than as inert and passive surfaces subject to conservation.

This guide to sediment transport and morphodynamics modelling in nearshore environments covers hydrodynamics of estuarine and coastal environments, seafloor and estuarine composition, and hydro-environmental interactions; emphasising the inter-relations of small and large scale processes. For engineers and graduate students.

This textbook provides the knowledge and skills needed for thorough understanding of the most important methods and ways of thinking in experimental physics. The reader learns to design, assemble, and debug apparatus, to use it to take meaningful data, and to think carefully about the story told by the data.

This book provides a comprehensive look at the science, methods, designs, and limitations of nonimaging optics. It begins with an in-depth discussion on thermodynamically efficient optical designs and how they improve the performance and cost effectiveness of solar concentrating and illumination systems.

The Routledge Handbook of Music Signification captures the richness and complexity of the field, presenting 30 essays by recognized international experts that reflect current interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary approaches to the subject.

This updated second edition maintains the objectives of the first which is to constitute a compendium of current best practices in the administration of student conduct, to summarize the latest thinking on key issues facing practitioners today, and to provide an overview of the role and status of conduct administrators within their institutions.

With costs rising, traditional college student populations shrinking, and pundits predicting that huge numbers of colleges will close in the coming decades, small colleges cannot afford to pretend that business-as-usual can sustain them. This book offers five emerging models for how small colleges can survive and thrive in these challenging times.

Focuses on the status and work of full-time non-tenure-track faculty (NTTF) whose ranks are increasing as tenure track faculty (TTF) make up a smaller percentage of the professoriate. The authors ask, how can departments, institutions, and the profession do more to engage NTTF as full and active colleagues?

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of carbon emissions pinch analysis (CEPA), covering the fundamentals as well as advanced variants based on mathematical programming.

This book provides information and a critically required framework for sustainable automobile policy development in major Asian countries. It gives a wide ranging policy options based on empirical case studies and comparative policy and regulatory analysis.

This textbook is designed to enable students with little knowledge of mathematical analysis to engage with modern quantitative finance. The exposition of the topics is concise as chapters are intended to represent a preliminary contact with the mathematical concepts used in QF.

This second edition contains a substantial update with expanded material and reflects the significant growth of Lean Higher Education practices in colleges and universities worldwide.

The purpose of this book, originally published in 1987, was to contribute to the advance of artificial intelligence (AI) by clarifying and removing the major sources of philosophical confusion at the time, which continued to preoccupy scientists and thereby impede research.

This book, originally published in 1992, encapsulates ten years of research at the Open University¿s Human Cognition Research Laboratory. The research investigates the problems of novice programmers, and is strongly oriented toward the design and implementation of "programming environments" aimed at eliminating or easing novices¿ problems.

The most exciting and productive areas of academic inquiry are often where the interests of two disciplines meet. This is certainly the case for the subject of this book, first published in 1994, which explores the contribution that computer-based modelling and artificial intelligence can make to understanding fundamental issues in social science.

This comprehensive edited collection provides key contributions in the field, mapping out fundamental topics and analysing current trends through an international lens.

This volume challenges and extends previous approaches from systemic functional linguistics to understand the language of science and knowledge building from a linguistic perspective.

This Handbook surveys the state of the art on ground as well as its connections and applications to other topics. The central issues of ground are discussed in 37 chapters, all written exclusively for this volume by a wide range of leading experts.

This book offers a new English translation of Musaeus' poem Hero and Leander, with the original Greek on the facing page, a substantial introduction and a detailed commentary.

Shares stories, examples, and step-by-step routines that will help you build a classroom culture where students do the talking, explain their thinking, and critique each other's reasoning, all in the context of the maths content you're expected to teach.

Published in 1993, this book explores the rights that parents have been given over their children¿s schooling, how they affect traditional notions of home-school partnerships, and the effect on schools. It will appeal to those interested in home-school relations, in educational governance, and in comparing British policy in these areas with that of Europe.
