English | 2026 | ISBN-10: 1837081913 | 376 pages| Epub PDF | Women entrepreneurs in the Global South are a powerful force for economic growth and social progress. By dismantling barriers and providing them with the tools they need to thrive, we can unlock their potential to transform communities, empower women, and build a more equitable and sustainable future. However, conventional economic thinking often perceives entrepreneurship as gender-neutral, depicting entrepreneurs as rational, self-interested individuals detached from any sex, gender, class, age, family, religion, or ethnic context. This gender-neutral stance neglects the unique barriers and hardships faced by women entrepreneurs, potentially hindering their participation and contribution to socioeconomic development. By exclusively focusing on market dynamics, financial matters, and management concerns, mainstream economic thinkers overlook crucial attributes and roles associated with women. The book presents a paradigm shift, redefining entrepreneurship as a vehicle for social change and inclusion. It emphasizes the importance of a gender-responsive approach, advocating for targeted support systems that address the specific needs and challenges faced by women entrepreneurs in the Global South. The research tackles diverse themes and topics, emphasizing the importance of a gender-responsive approach, incorporating qualitative research, and recognizing the intersectionality of gender with other factors like migration and violence.

English | ASIN: B0GV54FVK7 | 2026 | 4 hours and 28 minutes | MP3@64 kbps | 1 Organizations are everywhere. We meet them on every street corner in the form of families and shops, study in them, work for them, buy from them, pay taxes to them. But we rarely give much thought to where they came from, what they are today, and what they might become in the future. How and why do they have so much influence over us, and what influences them? How do they contribute to and detract from the meaningfulness of our lives, and how might we improve them so they better serve our needs and desires? This Very Short Introduction addresses all of these questions and many more. Mary Jo Hatch introduces the concept of organizations by presenting definitions and ideas drawn from a dazzling array of subject areas, including the physical sciences, economics, sociology, psychology, anthropology, literature, and the visual and performing arts. Drawing on examples from prehistory and everyday life, from the animal kingdom as well as from business, government, and other formal organizations, Hatch provides a lively and thought provoking introduction to the process of organization.

English | 2026 | ISBN: 1836690754 | 454 pages | PDF | Over the past two decades, tourism centered on taste as a cultural resource has gained prominence, attracting growing interest from public authorities and industry stakeholders at various levels. Tourism and Gastronomy examines the dynamics at play – interregional projects, national certifications and local initiatives – based on the creation of a shared “common” taste, which is then expressed through local culinary identities. The Savoie region offers a prime example of this phenomenon: Michelin-starred chefs, through their fame, their regional roots and their promotion of a “mountain flavor”, have become unifying figures who contribute to the region’s appeal. While gastronomy is rarely the primary reason for travel, it contributes to the promotion and recognition of a place’s cultural heritage, and more broadly to local development. This process, which depends on coordination and the strategies of the various stakeholders, can lead to the creation of true gourmet tourist destinations, as evidenced by several examples in France and around the world.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 0691229546 | 171 Pages | PDF | The elder Pliny’s Natural History (77 CE), an astonishing compilation of 20,000 “things worth knowing,” was avowedly intended to be a repository of ancient Mediterranean knowledge for the use of craftsmen and farmers, but this 37-book, 400,000-word work was too expensive, unwieldy, and impractically organized to be of utilitarian value. Yet, as Richard Saller shows, the Natural History offers more insights into Roman ideas about economic growth than any other ancient source. Pliny’s Roman Economy is the first comprehensive study of Pliny’s economic thought and its implications for understanding the economy of the Roman Empire.

English | 146 pages | Butterworth-Heinemann; Illustrated edition (26 Mar. 2014) | 012420113X | PDF | 14.49 Mb The use of friction stir processing to locally modify the microstructure to enhanced formability has the potential to alter the manufacturing of structural shapes. There is enough research to put together a short monograph detailing the fundamentals and key findings. One example of conventional manufacturing technique for aluminum alloys involves fusion welding of 5XXX series alloys. This can be replaced by friction stir welding, friction stir processing and forming. A major advantage of this switch is the enhanced properties. However qualification of any new process involves a series of tests to prove that material properties of interest in the friction stir welded or processed regions meet or exceed those of the fusion welded region (conventional approach). This book will provide a case study of Al5083 alloy with some additional examples of high strength aluminum alloys.
