  Startup Communities - Building...

  First published in 2012, Startup Communities became a blueprint for what it takes to build a supportive entrepreneurial community. Now regarded as a classic, the "Boulder Thesis" created and popularized by Feld within the book generated enormous media attention nearly a decade ago. 
   
   
   
  At that time, Boulder was an emerging startup laboratory—a hub of innovation building new tech businesses. It quickly accelerated into a world-class ecosystem for entrepreneurs. Boulder's entrepreneurial density, combined with the geographic concentration of entrepreneurial activity around the Boulder downtown core, made it a hotbed of startup activity. Thanks in part to the book, what happens in Boulder now leaves Boulder. Rapidly growing startup communities in Atlanta, Detroit, Denver, Kansas City, Nashville, and Indianapolis are just a few examples. 
   
   
   
  Startup communities continue to pop up across the US and around the world, prompting fresh new revelations and stories from Feld about what's happened over the last decade. Startup Communities 2nd Edition describes what makes a startup community ecosystem first click, then hum, and in time, excel. The book also discusses the necessary dynamics and pre-conditions of building communities of entrepreneurs who can feed off each other's talent, creativity, and support.

  The Beats - A Very Short...

  In the late 1950s and early 1960s, the writers of the Beat Generation revolutionized American literature with their iconoclastic approach to language and their angry assault on the conformity and conservatism of postwar society. They and their followers took aim at the hypocrisy and taboos of their time—particularly those involving sex, race, and class—in such provocative works as Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957), Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" (1956), and William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959). 
   
  In this Very Short Introduction, David Sterritt offers a concise overview of the social, cultural, and aesthetic sensibilities of the Beats, bringing out the similarities that connected them and also the many differences that made them a loosely knit collective rather than an organized movement. 
    
  Figures in the saga include Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, John Clellon Holmes, Carolyn Cassady, and Gary Snyder. As Sterritt ranges from Greenwich Village and San Francisco to Mexico, western Europe, and North Africa, he sheds much light on how the Beats approached literature, drugs, sexuality, art, music, and religion.

  Schizophrenia - Grasping the...

  This is a 2-book combo, which has the following titles: 
    
    
  Book 1: Schizophrenia is more common than you think. And there are a lot of false myths about it. Some people it’s similar to multiple personality disorder, but this notion is far from the truth. Others say it’s only related to voices or addictions. But there is more to it than that. 
    
  In this guide, we will shed more light on this important matter. Schizophrenia should be understood, empathized with, and acknowledged. Those who have it, are people, like all of us, with a slight disorder in their brain that has some negative side effects (and even a few positive ones).  
    
  Here, you’ll learn more about the most common causes, the impact schizophrenia has on an individual, and what psychosis encompasses. 
    
    
    
    
  Book 2: Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that’s commonly inherited from the previous generation(s). But what makes this disorder so different from other ones? And more importantly, what can we do about it? 
    
  One of the things that many people overlook, is that those who have schizophrenia lack high doses of Vitamin D. Other side effects are that they are typically highly creative, that they suffer from psychosis during stressful times in their lives, and their social interactions with others can have various impacts. 
    
  Read about all these positive and negative consequences, so that you, too, can have a better grasp of the disorder and cope with it more effectively.
