The Call for a New Type of African Leader

Post-Experience Education is the trend towards lifelong, continued education. It includes Senior Leadership Apprenticeships, Open Programmes and Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Executive Education and MBAs. In this context, this two-volume work advances current scholarship around post-experience education and articulates its boundaries. Volume I focuses on the theory and concepts and covers the purpose, history, research gaps as well as drivers and tensions, amongst other topics. Volume 2 focuses on the practice of post-experience education, exploring professional pathways, ethics, sociological barriers, and doctoral education, to name a few.Taken together, these contributed volumes mark a sea change in our understanding of the topic in a field where no underlying theory exists. Across the chapters, authors offer valuable insights and a more nuanced conceptualisation of the subject.Christian Harrison

Religiöse Minderheiten und religiöse Mehrheiten lassen sich nicht durch Größe oder Merkmale kategorisieren, sondern werden durch Zuschreibungen bestimmt. Die Beiträger*innen fokussieren auf diese Zuschreibungen und die dadurch entstehenden Minderheiten-Mehrheiten-Konstellationen. Mit Blick auf plurale Gesellschaften der Gegenwart analysieren sie, was religiöse Minderheiten und Mehrheiten ausmacht, in welchem Verhältnis sie zueinander stehen und welche Folgen diskursive Bezugnahmen, Eigen- und Fremdbezeichnungen sowie Ein- und Ausschlüsse für die Selbstwahrnehmung, Konstituierung, Positionierung und Kommunikation religiöser Minderheiten haben.

Palgrave Insights into Apocalypse Economics

This book reassesses classic Marxist theories of finance capital and uneven development in the context of the present intensified process of financialization and the accentuation of combined and accelerating uneven development. In particular, the work of Hilferding and Luxemburg is discussed and re-framed in light of both the contributions of Marx and more recent engagements by David Harvey and Neil Smith. The book explores the case of South Africa in particular in light of the combination of a rapidly financializing yet crisis-ridden South African political economy on the one hand and intensifying social inequality and political conflict on the other.&nbsp;It explores a series of strategies and possibilities that might open up trajectories for change and transformation with particular attention paid to the promises and constraints of the de-growth movement and intersectional class struggle, which will appeal to political economists, researchers, and students alongside those studying South Africa specifically.

This book delves deep into the complex, ethically fraught topic of proofreading of student writing by exploring a variety of perspectives on proofreading interventions in student texts. It gives voice to a range of ethical perspectives, from those who are deeply troubled by proofreading of student writing to those who take a more permissive stance and those whose confusion lands them somewhere in between. As the first book-length work on this topic, it makes a necessary contribution to research on proofreading of student work.

What if the biggest obstacle to solving our problems is nothing more than a failure to believe that we can?Rick Caruso has spent his life stepping optimistically into places where other people see no way forward by asking a deceptively simple question: What can we do to make this better? From his appointment as Commissioner to the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power and later the City's troubled Police Department, to the creation of his bold and innovative real estate ventures including L.A.'s world-renowned retail center The Grove, Caruso built a reputation for finding steadfast solutions even in the face of staunch adversity. By employing the great teachers of experience and curiosity, he continues to do what he can to improve Los Angeles, the city he loves, and in Breaking New Ground, he shares lessons learned along the way--while offering us all a path forward to a better future.Again and again, Caruso discovered that breakthroughs rarely come from knowing everything at the outset. They come from asking better questions, bringing the right people into the room, listening without ego, separating ideology from reality, and refusing to give up until workable solutions emerge. Ultimately, they require a steadfast dedication to the belief that there is always a solution and that defeat is not an option.Breaking New Ground is the story of how his philosophy was forged--from the examples of immigrant grandparents and a father who lost one fortune and built another, to Caruso's own successes, failures, public battles, family life, faith, and unexpected turns through business and government.Caruso is less interested in prescribing a formula for becoming successful than in exploring how successful problem-solvers think: how they distinguish what matters from what merely makes noise; how they balance conviction with compromise; how they recognize when conventional wisdom has stopped working; and how they remain fearless enough to see difficult decisions through.Part memoir, part argument, and part blueprint for action, Breaking New Ground offers a timely proposition for anyone confronting a problem that feels too complicated, entrenched, or divisive to solve.There is always another way forward. Sometimes you simply have to be willing to build it.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

Breaking New Ground

An introductory finance textbook that teaches personal, corporate, and investment decisions from one set of first principles. How much should I save for retirement? Should this company launch a new product? Is this stock worth its price? These questions look like they belong to three different subjects—personal, corporate, and investment—and most introductory textbooks treat them that way. But this innovative introduction to finance shows that they actually come down to the same handful of principles. Drawing on more than two decades of teaching at Wharton, Michael Roberts develops each idea in context, working through real companies and live data and returning to the core concepts often enough that they stick. Featuring hundreds of examples, frequent understanding checks, and extensive end-of-chapter problems, Financial Decision-Making is an essential learn-by-doing guide to practicing finance in our personal and professional lives. <ul><li>Organized by decision type rather than finance topic</li><li>Illustrates the thought process for tackling financial questions in varied contexts</li><li>Emphasizes relatable, practical applications </li><li>Suits undergraduates, MBAs, executives, and general readers</li><li>Includes instructor resources</li></ul>

Anthem Series on Development in Africa and the Diaspora

Narrates the story of Cape Town's Africa Café and introduces the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Framework for Africa (SEFA), explaining how excluded entrepreneurs build and convert social, cultural, human, and political capital into financial capital across Africa and its diaspora.
In 1992, in a small house in Cape Town's Observatory neighborhood, Portia Mbau began serving dishes gathered from her travels across the continent. What began as a family venture grew, with her brother Hector's marketing and brand vision, into the Africa Café, a celebrated cultural enterprise at Heritage Square that seated the world at a communal table for nearly three decades before closing in the collapse of global travel in 2020. This book is the first full-length scholarly study of that enterprise: what one family built, what it meant, and what it teaches. 
The book is built on primary interviews with Hector Mbau and sustained fieldwork in Cape Town, including the township of Langa. From this single richly documented case, it develops an original theoretical contribution, the Sustainable Entrepreneurship Framework for Africa (SEFA). SEFA integrates the five forms of capital (social, human, cultural, financial, and political) with the constraints of post-colonial economies and the linked processes of value creation and value capture. Its central mechanism, capital conversion under constraint, explains how entrepreneurs excluded from formal finance build the forms of capital available to them and convert them, through the value they create, into the financial capital the system withheld. The framework is stated in testable propositions, with explicit boundary conditions. The argument then travels. Comparative chapters set the Africa Café alongside township enterprise, continental African entrepreneurship, and the historic Black business districts of the United States, from Greenwood in Tulsa to Parrish Street in Durham, Jackson Ward in Richmond, Sweet Auburn in Atlanta, and Farish Street in Jackson, districts that built every form of capital except the political capital that might have protected them. A full chapter grounds the framework in the philosophy of Ubuntu, engaging both its promise and its critics. The book speaks to scholars and students of entrepreneurship, management, African studies, and development; to policymakers concerned with enterprise and empowerment; and to general readers drawn to the story of what one family built, what it meant, and what it teaches.

Sustainable Entrepreneurship in Africa and the Diaspora

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a conservation approach designed to ensure that any development or land-use change results in a measurable increase in biodiversity compared to the baseline conditions prior to the project. This concept transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlight how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It looks at key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

An important account of how trade unions fought for education in Britain.Trade unions played a massive part in shaping Britain's democracy. But today it's easy to forget that one of their signal achievements was transforming access to education for working people. In Libraries gave us power, Gavin McCann tells the story of how the trade union movement fought for education, untapping the potential of millions. Following the self-taught activists who refused to accept exclusion, he traces their struggles across two-hundred years of history, highlighting successes such as the creation of Oxford's Ruskin College and the earliest elections of working-class MPs. This is a story that carries on into the present, as unions continue to offer essential support through training, learning programmes and campaigns to help workers in a changing economy - all rooted in values that would be instantly recognisable to the movement's pioneers. Rescuing a history that is fast disappearing from view, Libraries gave us power is essential reading for anyone who wants to know the truth about education, democracy and working-class power in modern Britain.
