The Study of Bias in Entrepreneurship
Scholars use the theoretical lens of bias to research various behavioral phenomena in entrepreneurship. We assess this body of research, focusing on definitional issues and relationships. Furthermore, we discuss how the study of bias in entrepreneurship can be advanced, given the new development in related fields such as cognitive sciences. The assessments and discussions help reveal as well as address tensions in the literature, identify numerous research opportunities that may not be obvious by looking at previous work individually, and contribute to how the theory of bias can further help to understand entrepreneurship.
Family Diversity and Business Start-Up
Integrating the family embeddedness perspective with research on commensality and family meals, we develop a framework that explains why some families are more likely to fuel entrepreneurship than others. Inspired by the diversity literature and the role of the Chinese Confucian culture in shaping family dynamics, we explore how two demographic (i.e., age and gender) and two knowledge-based (i.e., education and industry) sources of diversity within family households predict a family member starting a business. We further theorize that these relationships are contingent on the frequency of family meals, as family meals serve as a conduit for how family diversity affects entrepreneurship by providing the setting where socialization and interaction take place. Using data from a representative sample of 8,162 individuals via the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in the 2014-2018 period, our findings demonstrate that although greater age and gender diversity hamper entrepreneurship, family meals 'feed the fire' of entrepreneurship for families with greater industry and education diversity.
Fast Track to TCM Chinese
The basic language textbook designed specifically for Western students of Chinese medicine that guides the reader through all aspects of learning the Chinese language (basic grammar, vocabulary, reading and writing), with a focus on Chinese medical terminology. The purpose of this book is to give readers a solid foundation in TCM-related Chinese character and phrase recognition, enabling them to eventually move on to other texts through self-study. we are sorry that the CD content are not included.
New evidence on the Psychological Impacts and Consequences of Covid-19 on Mental Workload Healthcare Workers in Diverse Regions in the World
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant global impact on our daily lives. At the center of the pandemic are healthcare workers who have faced a great psychological burden in attempting to counter the virus in both short and long terms contexts. The goal of this Research Topic is to offer new evidence on the mental health experiences of healthcare workers under the Covid 19 pandemic by taking on a broad global perspective. We are particularly interested in new evidence that extends the existing meta-analyses on the topic to build further knowledge.

Now in its third edition, Disaster Recovery continues to serve as the most comprehensive book of its kind and will span the core areas that recovery managers and voluntary organizations must tackle after a disaster. It remains the go-to textbook for how to address and work through housing, donations, volunteer management, environmental recovery, historic and cultural resources, psychological needs, infrastructure and lifelines, economic recovery, public sector recovery, and much more. Special features include instructor’s manual, PowerPoints, a free consultation with the authors upon adoption of the text; updated discussion questions; references and recommended readings; and updated resour...
Pandemic Providers
Emanating from a working group of the American Psychological Association, this comprehensive volume provides a blueprint for pandemic preparedness for health and mental health professionals. It reviews the actual experiences faced by practitioners during the current Covid crisis, and provides historical context of past health crises, such as the 1918 flu epidemic. Lessons learned from previous health disasters are utilized to provide guidelines and best practices for managing large scale health crises. The goal of this book is to offer the tools for health providers to mobilize, collaborate and provide effective and compassionate services. Relevant to psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and others, this volume is an invaluable resource for the present and for the inevitable pandemics to come.

Exploring an Innovative Design for Sustainable Urban Water Management and Energy Conservation
Large areas of our cities are taken by impervious areas, which reduce infiltration and increase peak flows, leading to flash floods and rendering less water for storage and use. At the same time, urban water demand is growing at an unsustainable pace. An innovative system design combining permeable pavements with underground water storage is proposed to reduce runoff peaks, store water, treat pollutants, lower ambient temperatures (heat island effect), and harvest energy from the heated pavement. The proposed system is highly exploratory and aims to answer questions such as what existing technological options could be used, how are the elements of the system integrated, and what are the pote...
Adoption of Innovation
This edited volume brings together academics from both innovation and marketing fields to explore the additional value for companies that can be generated with the innovations in marketing and the marketing of innovations. If ideas need to reach the marketplace, then marketing strategies, concepts and tools - such as the continuous development of new product and services - become vital for their success. On the other hand, marketing management is influenced by innovation as illustrated by the way social media and Internet have revolutionized the traditional marketing-mix. Such linkages between innovation and marketing research need to be much stronger as companies have to convince internal and external stakeholders to achieve successful innovation strategies. State-of-the-art research output from different perspectives would suit the needs of a researcher as well as the company CEO alike.
