Academic Entrepreneurship
This book explores different aspects of entrepreneurship from both an academic and a commercial point of view.The first chapter the university culture is considered.The nature of the technology or service is important.Some technologies are adaptive, in that they are developing products that are already in the marketplace, and these fit easily in academic institutions.Other technologies are disruptive and new products must be developed.These fit less easily into university structures since a commercial entity is required.Chapter 4 considers the important requirements of conflict of interest (COI).Either the university culture or COI can hinder or aid entrepreneurial faculty. The second chapter deals with the reasons why an individual faculty might wish to become entrepreneurial.In many cases, a faculty member wants to see their technology in practice and not just a publication in a scientific journal.If a technology is disruptive, then a commercial entity is probably essential.If so, then funding must be obtained. There are “valleys of death” (1) where scientific discoveries to useful products and (2) the development, production and marketing of a commercially viable product.Chapter 6 deals specifically with methods of funding start-up companies.Chapter 3 describes several innovative programs in biology.These include genetic approaches, plant management systems and the author’s own program that deals with microbial approaches to sustainable agriculture.Chapter 5 describes the crucial areas of agreements, contracts, regulatory affairs and patents.These legal documents are critical components of entrepreneurial efforts and must be understood and pursued correctly. Finally, this book could have been entitled “things I wish I had known when I first started commercial activities.” It is my hope that it can make the path of fledgling entrepreneurial smoother and more successful.

Doing Academic Careers Differently : Portraits of Academic Life
Should academic careers always unfold in exactly the same way?Is there one best way of being an academic? This book says no. Assumptions about who academics are and what they should do are becoming increasingly narrow and focused on achieving so-called ‘excellence’ in teaching and research above anything else.This book problematises this and explores the scope for doing academic careers differently.Authors paint individual or group portraits of their academic careers, working with metaphors which challenge the dominant discourses of how academic careers should be led.From rejecting the pressure to focus on ‘one big thing’, to prioritising nurture and care, transcending disciplinary boundaries, reshaping own daily practice, connecting with communities, and being academics outside academia, the chapters in this book offer those considering, starting, or developing an academic career a treasure trove of many alternative possibilities.Presented as a portrait gallery through which readers are encouraged to meander at will, this compilation of insights into alternative academic lives will help to inspire and encourage current academics to re-think and take ownership of their careers in their own terms, according to their own strengths, weaknesses, and circumstances.

The Talent Management of Indie Authorship : From American Independent Cinema and Short Films to Pay-Tv and Streaming
This book explores the role that talent intermediaries, including talent agents, talent managers and producers, play in packaging, marketing and selling screen media products, services and brands by constructing and positioning their clients and collaborators as indie-auteurs.Exploring several case-studies across a range of screen media during an era of media convergence, including American indie cinema, high-end television, music video, advertising and branded content, the book explores the strategies that talent intermediaries adopt and the industrial, cultural and social connotations and hierarchies that indie-auteurism as a promotional discourse and tool carries and reinforces.As a result, the book stakes out new ground that complicates popular ideas of indie-auteurs as highly autonomous and innovative filmmakers by exploring how this authorial discourse migrates between media and is constructed and reconfigured in relation to changing industrial and cultural contexts.

Mastering Academic Reading
Mastering Academic Reading is meant to challenge advanced academically oriented students of English.The units and the readings within them are long. The comprehension and expansion exercises after them are demanding.The hoped-for outcome is that students trained using this textbook will be able to better hold their own in university classes where the reading volume across disciplines and vocabulary demands are high. Almost every reading is taken, in minimally adapted form, from a book or academic / professional journal.Two introductory passages have been composed expressly for this book in order to provide narrowly focused background material.Beyond these pieces, readers are in the hands of “real-world” authors and their difficult, lexically diffuse, and allusion-filled creations.Journal articles and book excerpts predominate, but Mastering Academic Reading also offers a book review and a government pamphlet as well.Since one aspect of reading practice builds on others, the units are laid out in tiers, not in sections.Each unit has been organized into three tiers. In general, there is one reading per tier, although the first tier in Unit 3 contains two passages (both necessary to provide conceptual background for the other two tiers).Each reading is 3,500-5,000 words. The book focuses on the three primary goals of academic reading: reading to learn; reading to integrate, write, and critique texts; and reading for basic comprehension.
