Book Description
A Deleuzian reading of Whitehead and a Whiteheadian reading of Deleuze open the possibility of a critical aesthetics of contemporary culture. In Without Criteria, Steven Shaviro proposes and explores a philosophical fantasy: imagine a world in which Alfred North Whitehead takes the place of Martin Heidegger. What if Whitehead, instead of Heidegger, had set the agenda for postmodern thought? Heidegger asks, “Why is there something, rather than nothing?” Whitehead asks, “How is it that there is always something new?” In a world where everything from popular music to DNA is being sampled and recombined, argues Shaviro, Whitehead's question is the truly urgent one. Without Criteria is Shaviro's experiment in rethinking postmodern theory, especially the theory of aesthetics, from a point of view that hearkens back to Whitehead rather than Heidegger. In working through the ideas of Whitehead and Deleuze, Shaviro also appeals to Kant, arguing that certain aspects of Kant's thought pave the way for the philosophical “constructivism” embraced by both Whitehead and Deleuze. Kant, Whitehead, and Deleuze are not commonly grouped together, but the juxtaposition of them in Without Criteria helps to shed light on a variety of issues that are of concern to contemporary art and media practices.

Book Description
This book analyses the importance of the entrepreneurial university, specifically in relation to the creation of entrepreneurial ideas and attitudes in students and entrepreneurial initiatives in academic institutions. The aim of the editors and contributing authors is to provide the reader with a set of experiences illustrating the advantages of communicating and encouraging entrepreneurship among students, thereby highlighting the “third mission” of the university: the need to adopt entrepreneurial strategy without disrupting the quality of teaching and research. Featuring initiatives from institutions around the world, the authors argue that the increasing importance of knowledge in the technical and social dimensions of today’s world provides greater relevance to the entrepreneurial university. In this context, universities transcend their traditional focus on teaching and basic research to carry out technology transfers, marketing ideas, and patent registrations, and incorporate spin-off companies that contribute to industrial innovations, economic growth, and job creation. In the teaching dimension, the entrepreneurial university represents a focus on programs which train students in the applications and most advanced practices in knowledge-driven fields. The book addresses such questions as: Can marketing ideas deteriorate the quality of research in the long term? What importance does the cultural framework have for an entrepreneurial education? What circumstances and programs facilitate spin-offs in universities What are the key features of entrepreneurial universities? In reference to entrepreneurship education in its broadest sense, then, it corresponds to the framework of ideas and general features on which entrepreneurship is founded: in-depth knowledge of the projects or ventures which they wish to carry out, capacity to perceive the relevant characteristics of the environment, and the leadership and goal setting skills to achieve success.

Book Description
Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era provides a holistic approach to collaborative innovation, innovation management and innovation leadership. It is full of practical advice and includes 34 interviews with high-level politicians, innovation industry leaders, academics and entrepreneurs discussing the reality of innovation and how to create change for a positive impact. Many quotes are included from researchers and practitioners in the innovation field who have participated as guests in the author’s podcast “Business of Collaboration” or in interviews with the Collabwith Magazine which she produces. This is a powerful book full of practical frameworks and one-page canvases which act as reminders of the value of making needs and expectations explicit. The author provides frameworks and tools that can be used to support collaboration journeys across different sectors and organizations. She also offers clarity to the reader for their innovation journey and brings a new perspective on how to innovate and understand innovation. Jara Pascual focuses on the importance of managing emotions and feelings of frustration which can be very common during a collaborative innovation process. She explores the interaction between Emotional Intelligence and business and shows how to remove and manage frustration and how to produce a positive outcome. Innovation and Collaboration in the Digital Era will empower the reader to take action and show how to change your conversation about innovation and collaboration. “Jara Pascual, with colleague Celia Avila-Rauch, has been able to distill and apply the ability model of emotional intelligence to the art and science of innovation and innovation leadership. In our work we note that feelings are not always facts but that emotions as a form of data. More than that, emotions can assist or facilitate with decision making, creativity and innovation rather than getting in the way, but only if leaders are “smart” about emotions and develop and deploy their emotional intelligence skills.” Dr David R Caruso, Emotional Intelligence Skills Group, Founder Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, Research Affiliate

Book Description
The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Book Description
En este libro de texto se afronta el aprendizaje delemprendimiento como actitud. Se trata de movilizar en los alumnos que cursan la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO) todo un conjunto de competencias, actitudes y conocimientos que son propios del mismo hecho de emprender, pero que además son comunes y habituales en la vida personal y profesional de los individuos: la responsabilidad, la iniciativa, el trabajo en equipo, la comunicación, etcétera. La incorporación de esta asignatura por la LOMCE como materia específica y la posibilidad de ser elegida de un bloque de asignaturas en cada uno de los cursos de la ESO, ha sido tenida en cuenta por parte de los autores tanto en la versatilidad de los epígrafes como en los planteamientos didácticos de las actividades y las tareas propuestas. Bajo el subtítulo de La importancia de llamarse emprendedor,se han ido organizando los contenidos de la obra, estructurada en once unidades planteadas como un itinerario competencial de la persona desde la iniciativa y la inspiración (elementos que suponen el punto de partida de todo proyecto personal) hasta la autonomía y la autorrealización como propósito individual. Para ello, las unidades presentan una estructura en la que se parte de una lectura inicial introductoria para, a continuación, desarrollar los contenidos de forma clara. Se propone además un buen número de actividades motivadoras y esquemas, se acompaña la explicación con curiosidades a través de los cuadros de Recuerda y Sabías que..., se aclaran los conceptos más complejos a través de los cuadros deVocabulario y se ofrecen citas que aportan el punto de vista de algún emprendedor sobre el tema trabajado en los apartados de La frase. Asimismo, al final de cada unidad, se incluye una actividad titulada La importancia de llamarse...,en la que los alumnos tendrán que descubrir de qué emprendedor se habla a partir de una imagen y una pista para seguir trabajando los contenidos de manera lúdica. Por su parte, el mapa conceptual final de cada unidad permitirá repasar y reforzar los conceptos estudiados, mientras que los test de repaso, la actividad dedicada a la dinámica de grupo y el apartado denominado Emprende, que ofrece un crucigrama sobre aspectos tratados en la unidad y propone la visualización de películas o fragmentos de ellas para reflexionar sobre lo estudiado, permitirán evaluar, practicar y reflexionar sobre lo aprendido de manera efectiva, amena y práctica. Además, se pone a disposición de los usuarios un aula virtual que ofrece un conjunto de útiles recursos digitales (archivos, documentos, presentaciones, vídeos e infografías) y desde la que se podrá acceder a eventuales actualizaciones de los contenidos. También ofrece la posibilidad a profesores y alumnos de generar un cuaderno de trabajo con actividades evaluadas con trazabilidad. El acceso a esta es posible enviando una solicitud a [email protected].
