Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity
€ 20,00The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition has developed a philosophy to strengthen the entrepreneurial capacity of individuals, companies and regions. The philosophy assumes that successful entrepreneurship is both a personal and a collective assignment exploring possibilities. The Critical Friend Method is a working method that takes shape in multi-level and multi-disciplinary settings and can be applied to innovation, connection and entrepreneurship issues.
People are challenged to take self-direction, think critically, and take the next step.
Companies with innovation challenges can successfully use the Critical Friend Method to share knowledge bypassing potential hierarchical constraints.
Regions in the world are facing challenging transitions. Such as from linear to circular creation processes. This method contributes to the current transitions in society by promoting knowledge sharing, stories and exchange.
Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity Strengthen entrepreneurial capacity is a handbook that provides all the tools to support this process and offers instructions that have been tested in practice for students, entrepreneurs, teachers and workplaces.The professorship Entrepreneurship in Transition is a collaboration between Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen and Alfa-college.
A fascinating journey along the eyes of animals
€ 49,90A fly has two eyes, but they consist of hundreds of separate parts, each with its own lens. The eyes of rabbits are implanted sideways to see danger coming. What do all eyes have in common? They all do “something” with light. The renowned ophthalmologist Dr Frank J. Goes takes you on a fascinating journey along the eyes of animals. Changing climate, continental drift and the amount of oxygen in the air influenced the development of animal species and their eyes. Colour vision, sharpness, nearsighted or farsighted, facet eyes, eyes on stalks. The variation is endless, but animals always have eyes adapted to the search for food and survival.
DR. FRANK J. GOES is a consultant at the Goes Eye Center in Antwerp, which he founded in 1969. In addition to his activities as an ophthalmologist, he is also a lecturer at Ehsal high school,
an ambassador for the NGO ‘Light for the World’ and a consultant in medical legal matters.Friluftsliv
€ 22,90Friluftsliv (letterlijk vrije-lucht-leven) is de Noorse manier om je thuis te voelen in de buitenruimte. Eric Brinckmann beschrijft met zijn zoon Benjamin op een luchtige, verhalende en praktische manier het leven in de open ruimte van het Noorse en Nederlandse landschap: buiten slapen, je oriënteren op de zon en de sterren, kamperen met zo min mogelijk spullen, of kanoën in een eindeloos landschap vermengt met praktische toepassingen van eetbare planten, bruikbare bomen en leesbare wolken en Sami-weetjes. Dit is een lees-, reis- en doe-boek dat begint in je eigen tuin of op je balkon: daar valt de buitenwereld al op een spannende manier te beleven. Je kunt daar blijven of er verder op uit trekken, allebei goed. De auteurs vergeten niet dit buitenleven in een historische en filosofische context van Arne Naess en Spinoza te plaatsen en daarmee extra diepgang te geven.
Eric Brinckmann (1961) studeerde rechten en filosofie en is momenteel directeur van landgoed Het Lankheet in Overijssel en schrijver van filosofische wandelboeken.
Benjamin Brinckmann (1992) studeerde milieukunde in Noorwegen en woont nu in Sandefjord (Noorwegen) waar hij onder andere docent Friluftliv is.
