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.
Moed en tegenspoed
€ 35,00Vergeten vrouwengeschiedenissen
De Bourgondische tijd was in alle opzichten voorspoedig maar niet voor de positie van de edelvrouw. In deze overgangstijd van middeleeuwen naar renaissance pikten mannen het niet langer dat vrouwen in eigen naam bestuurden. De vrouwen verzetten zich, soms met de moed der wanhoop, tegen deze evolutie. De eerste vrouw die alarm sloeg was Christine de Pisan (†1430), maar ook later bestreden vele edelvrouwen de teloorgang van hun waardigheid. Tien edelvrouwen passeren de revue: Margaretha van Brabant, Margaretha van Male, Christine de Pisan, Jeanne d’Arc, Isabella van Portugal, Guigone de Salins, Jacoba van Beieren, Maria van Bourgondië, Johanna de Waanzinnige, Margaretha van Oostenrijk. Ze waren vaak moedig maar steeds meer machteloos. De Maesschalck brengt deze vrouwen voor het voetlicht en laat hen opnieuw schitteren. Tussendoor gaat aandacht naar fenomenen als bastaards, nonnen, begijnen, zieneressen, politiek actieve vrouwen en vermeende heksen, vrouwenkleren en juwelen, en bovenal naar liefde, seks en ongepaste mannengrappen.
Edward De Maesschalck publiceerde spraakmakende boeken over de Bourgondische vorsten, de graven van Vlaanderen en de Habsburgers.
