The encouragement of the birth and growth of high technology small firms is a major goal of both national and regional government planning agencies. However, while there is broad agreement on the increasing value of this type of small firm to future industrial expansion beyond the year 2000, there is little hard evidence on which to base measures to encourage the rate of new firm formation and subsequent growth. This book aids policy prescription by providing a detailed study of regional variations in the management of innovation in high technology small firms. The empirical research...

Divided into two main sections, this book introduces corpus linguistics to a student readership who have grown up in the era of ubiquitous computing, internet search and social media.

The first section presents the theoretical and methodological basics. The second section takes students through a series of case studies, with exercises, showing how corpora can offer insights into linguistic theory, namely lexis, grammar, and lexico-grammar. It shows how corpora can provide them with descriptions of language in use, in different contexts, such as academic discourse and text messages; and...

The Marshall Plan: Being Good to Be Bad is a compilation of decades trying to fight off weight gain due to overeating and overindulging. My husband and I joke, we are on the see-food diet: put it in front of us, and it ll be gone. But when our pants got excruciatingly tight, and we even had to buy bigger jeans, something had to give; and giving in was not the choice we wanted to make.

Let s face it, we like to eat. And I bet you do to. Aside from eating being an integral component to live, it s a huge element in our social life, and sometimes we fill our bellies when it s really our...

Fuel Flexible Energy Generation: Solid, Liquid and Gaseous Fuels provides updated information on flexible fuel energy generation, the process by which one or more fuels can be combusted in the same boiler or turbine to generate power. By adapting or building boilers and turbines to accept multiple fuel sources, they can be co-fired with biomass and waste derived fuels, allowing a reduction in carbon output, thus providing cleaner energy.

Fuel flexibility is becoming more important in a world of diminishing fossil fuel stocks. Many countries are investing in the development...

In Literary Partnerships and the Marketplace, David Dowling examines an often-overlooked aspect of the history of publishing -- relationships, of both a business and a personal nature. The book focuses on several intriguing duos of the nineteenth century and explores the economics of literary partnerships between author/publisher, student/mentor, husband/wife, and parent/child.

These literary companions range from Emerson's promotion of Thoreau -- a relationship fraught with pitfalls and misjudgments -- to "Davis, Inc.," the seamless joining of the literary and legal minds of Rebecca...
