The philosophy assumes that successful entrepreneurship is both a personal and a collective assignment exploring possibilities.

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.
Sinagote
€ 24,90In dit boek vertellen we het levensverhaal van een lepelaar die we Sinagote hebben genoemd. Het gaat om een vrouwtje van Vlieland met in haar naam het woordje ‘Sina’, de Bretonse naam van het dorp waar ze ieder najaar heen trekt. Dit verhaal gaat over meer lepelaars dan alleen Sinagote. Het gaat zelfs over veel meer dan lepelaars. We vertellen over de connecties tussen lepelaars onderling, maar ook over de connecties tussen gebieden in Europa en Afrika en tussen mensen die in de gebieden wonen en werken. In een combinatie van love story en succesverhaal, vertelt Sinagote, het levensverhaal van een lepelaar over het belang om bij de bescherming van onze trekvogels verder te kijken, te denken en te doen dan onze landsgrenzen.
Humanity is not a plague
€ 15,00In Humanity is Not a Plague, Cees Buisman argues that it is possible for 10 billion people to exist together on this Earth – as predicted for the year 2100 – provided that the richer part of the world no longer merely focuses on its own health, prosperity and happiness, and instead starts working seriously on developing a higher consciousness.
In this essay, Buisman sharply analyzes some of the problems facing mankind, such as fresh water shortages, whilst overturning several clichés and offering unexpected, positive solutions. Overpopulation is not the problem; the effects of our actions on the rest of the world have a much greater impact. ‘Back to nature’ is not the solution, nor is an overreliance on science and innovation. Large-scale technologies could even increase our problems. It seems that the growth of humanity will depend on the growth of our consciousness.
Cees Buisman studied water purification engineering, in addition to business administration, communication theory and applied integral psychology. Throughout his life he has worked on new environmental technologies, which are used in industry all over the world. His scientific work is highly cited. Buisman is the Director of Wetsus – European Center for Sustainable Water Technology, and Professor at Wageningen University, in the Netherlands.
De otter
€ 15,00Het is nog niet zo lang geleden dat de otter in Nederland was uitgestorven. Gelukkig is dit mooie zoogdier, dat afhankelijk is van schoon water en rust, nu weer volop te bewonderen, dankzij de inspanningen van organisaties, overheden en vrijwilligers. Aan de hand van talrijke schitterende foto’s en unieke (nacht)beelden van bewegingscamera’s biedt dit boek een boeiende kennismaking met de otter, zijn verschijning, gedrag en leefgebied.
Daarnaast is het een levendig verslag van de belevenissen en waarnemingen in het veld van otterkenner Harrie Bosma, die als geen ander weet wat de otter beweegt.
