'Innovative, well organised, readable and authoritative. This is a text that takes a modern and refreshing approach to a subject that is an essential ingredient on today's economic agenda' - Graham Beaver, Professor of Strategic Management, Visiting Professor to Queensland University of Technology, Fellow of the University of Warwick. Not everyone who wants to study entrepreneurship has a theoretical background in business. Specifically written for students who do not have a strong business theory background, the authors of "Entrepreneurship for Everyone" bring alive the crucial issues for understanding this dynamic field. Going beyond the traditional textbook, the authors equip students with the necessary business knowledge and essential practical advice on applying that knowledge in the real world, to a range of types of industry - from sustainable industries, information technology, healthcare, biotechnology, as well as the musical and creative industries. Key entrepreneurship concepts that are covered include: the theories and tools of creative thinking; market research; intellectual property protection; and, relevant economics. If you are coming to this area anew, and especially if you are interested in how entrepreneurship is applied, putting this text back on the shelf could cost you real success.

As a reading experience, "Wonder Boys" is hard to describe. In places it is quite poignant, funny, alarming, and/or depressing. Then in others, I felt disgust with the childishness of the characters and the ridiculous situations into which they'd gotten themselves. Grady Tripp is a protagonist who, despite being a pathetic pothead, stymied writer, and adulterer, is honestly a nice guy who cares about other people. This in itself is a serious accomplishment; despite the aforementioned disgust at the bad decisions that lead to outlandish events and the moral reluctance to like a philanderer, the reader stays with Grady as he flails through the novel. The book is almost like a slice of life story, except that this slice of life is exceedingly bizarre, with hijinks more associated with young people who don't know any better. It's one giant comedy of errors, and for that I appreciate the crazy situations and the pathetic aspects of Grady's addictions. This might not be repeated reading for me, but Chabon made me care about a questionable narrator, and that is to be applauded.
