Discovery, Innovation, and the Victorian Admiralty : Paper Navigators
This book examines the British Admiralty’s engagement with science and technological innovation in the nineteenth century.It is a book about people, and gross misunderstanding, about the dreams and disappointments of scientific workers and inventors in relation to the administrators who adjudicated their requests for support, and about the power of paper to escalate arguments, reduce opinions, and frustrate hopes.From instructions for naval surveying to debates about rewards to civilians for inventions, Paper Navigators puts a wide range of primary sources in the context of public debates and explores the British Admiralty’s engagement with, decision-making around, and management of questions of value, support, and funding with citizen inventors, the broader public, and their own employees.Concentrating on the Admiralty’s private, internal correspondence to explore these themes, it offers a fresh perspective on the Victorian Navy's history of innovation and exploration and is a novel addition to literature on the history of science in the nineteenth century.

New Approaches to Creating a Culture of Innovation
In an era marked by the dominance of a few corporate giants, and the ease of replicating ideas at minimal costs, the imperative for organisations of all sizes to continually innovate has become paramount.Faced with this reality, CEOs increasingly perceive innovation as the key to fostering organic growth and enhancing brand equity.Rather than confining innovation to product or process development, business leaders are pivoting towards innovative business model differentiation as a cornerstone of success.

James Watt (1736-1819) : Culture, Innovation and Enlightenment
James Watt (1736-1819) was a pivotal figure of the Industrial Revolution.His career as a scientific instrument maker, inventor and engineer was developed in Scotland, his land of birth.His subsequent national and international significance as a scientist, technologist and businessman was formed in the Birmingham area.There, his partnership with Matthew Boulton and the intellectual and personal support of other members of the Lunar Society network, such as Erasmus Darwin, James Keir, William Small and Josiah Wedgwood, enabled him to translate his improvements in steam technology into efficient machines.His pumping and rotative steam engines represent a summit of technological achievement in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. This is the traditional picture of James Watt. After his death, his surviving son, James Watt junior projected his father’s image through commissioning sculptures, medals, paintings and biographies which celebrated his reputation as a ‘great man’ of the Industrial Revolution.In popular historical understanding Watt has also become a hero of modernity, but the context in which he operated and the roles of others in shaping his ideas have been downplayed.This book explores new aspects of his work and evaluates him in his locational, family, social and intellectual contexts.

The Wolf : Culture, Nature, Heritage
New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf.It occupies a contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and heritage.It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild and an embodiment of evil.Offering a mirror to different human attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to eco-systems.The essays collected here explore aspects of this recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding this iconic species.There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo.We also meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer Space.The book explores the challenges of separating fact from fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with large carnivores in the twenty-first century.Biologists, historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in this wolf collection.

Revolutionizing Innovation : Users, Communities, and Open Innovation
A comprehensive and multidisciplinary view of the emerging paradigm of user and open innovation, offering both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The last two decades have witnessed an extraordinary growth of new models of managing and organizing the innovation process that emphasizes users over producers.Large parts of the knowledge economy now routinely rely on users, communities, and open innovation approaches to solve important technological and organizational problems.This view of innovation, pioneered by the economist Eric von Hippel, counters the dominant paradigm, which cast the profit-seeking incentives of firms as the main driver of technical change.In a series of influential writings, von Hippel and colleagues found empirical evidence that flatly contradicted the producer-centered model of innovation.Since then, the study of user-driven innovation has continued and expanded, with further empirical exploration of a distributed model of innovation that includes communities and platforms in a variety of contexts and with the development of theory to explain the economic underpinnings of this still emerging paradigm.This volume provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary view of the field of user and open innovation, reflecting advances in the field over the last several decades.The contributors-including many colleagues of Eric von Hippel-offer both theoretical and empirical perspectives from such diverse fields as economics, the history of science and technology, law, management, and policy.The empirical contexts for their studies range from household goods to financial services.After discussing the fundamentals of user innovation, the contributors cover communities and innovation; legal aspects of user and community innovation; new roles for user innovators; user interactions with firms; and user innovation in practice, describing experiments, toolkits, and crowdsourcing, and crowdfunding.Contributors Efe Aksuyek, Yochai Benkler, James Bessen, Joern H.Block, Annika Bock, Helena Canhao, Jeroen P.
