This book proposes an alternative strategy to improve and sustain prosperity, through the creation of an entrepreneurial culture in learning cities or city regions. The edited collection provides insights into how entrepreneurship, education, job creation and social inclusion can be aligned through entrepreneurial learning, in the context of territorial development. With rich and varied contributions from a wide field, including policy makers, entrepreneurs, an investment banker, leaders of universities and councils,  the voluntary sector, scientists, educators and students, it reviews and assesses how learning cities and regions may become more prosperous by investing in the development of entrepreneurial skills throughout lifelong learning. Reinforced by examples on developing and retaining entrepreneurial people, this book contributes to our understanding of how entrepreneurial learning can be fostered in different city and city-region contexts. It makes an interesting contributionto the field in terms of mapping out complex issues and testing the practical validity of the concept, while also providing rich and insightful case studies centred on the Welsh experience with entrepreneurial learning city regions. The high quality international contributions demonstrate the new worldwide interest in developing an entrepreneurial culture for the benefit of a city or region, rather than an entrepreneurial mind-set for individual benefit.  This fascinating subject will be of interest to many social scientists, policymakers, and practitioners. It will be found especially valuable for professionals involved in economic, inclusive and sustainable city or regional development.

Teria de escolher entre o rei e o cavaleiro…Abandonado pelo pai quando era pequeno, William de Veres crescera sem nunca conhecer a felicidade. Mas conseguiu deixar o passado para trás e converteu-se num herói militar e num canalha reconhecido, alcançando um posto de renome na hedonista corte da Restauração. As guerras civis tinham feito com que Elizabeth Walters perdesse o pai. Sozinha e desprotegida teve de fugir de um casamento não desejado, e deparou-se com algo que não esperava. Quando a sua amabilidade e a sua beleza despertaram a atenção de William, e depois do rei, viu-se obrigada a tomar uma decisão...

Libertinens kyss

William de Veres barndom präglades av faderns stränga uppfostran och den enda sanna glädjen i hans liv var vänskapen med grannflickan Elizabeth Walters. Men inbördeskriget lockade ut den unge William på slagfältet och de skiljdes åt. Många år senare knackar William på dörren till ett hus djupt inne i skogen, helt ovetande om att det är Elizabeth som bor där. Han är skadad och förföljd och hon hjälper honom förbehållslöst. Men William känner inte igen sin barndomsvän och nästa dag är han borta. När Elizabeths egendomar sedan konfiskeras blir situationen ohållbar för henne. Hon tar sig till London för att söka audiens hos kungen och anhålla om att få tillbaka dem. Till hennes stora förvåning får hon syn på William vid hovet. Som krigshjälte och kvinnotjusare av stora mått är han höjd till skyarna av den njutningslystna kretsen kring kung Karl II. Elizabeth lyckas, tack vare sin skönhet och sitt vänliga sinnelag, fånga Williams - och kungens - uppmärksamhet. Till slut känner hennes ungdomsförälskelse igen henne och en himlastormande kärleksaffär tar sin början. Men när Elizabeth måste göra sitt val ansätts hon av tvivel. Ska hon välja tryggheten eller kärleken? För när allt kommer omkring, är en libertin verkligen kapabel att älska?

Satua vai totta?Hän menetti tasapainonsa ja tarttui oksaan ollakseen putoamatta. Mutta hän ei löytänyt jalansijaa, ja pian hänen otteensa oksasta petti. Hän ehti nähdä vilahduksen uteliaasta oravasta, ennen kuin putosi. Oksat taipuivat ja napsahtelivat rikki, tarttuen hänen helmoihinsa ja hidastaen hänen vauhtiaan. Mutta se ei estänyt häntä putoamasta hameenhelmat korvissa suoraan komean tumman pojan käsivarsille.Toinen tapahtuman lapsista oli Elizabeth Walters ja toinen William de Veres. Vuosien jälkeen heidän polkunsa kohtaavat jälleen, mutta sodassa, jossa he ovat vieläpä eri puolilla.Miten päättyy keijukaiskuningattaren ja ritarin tarina?
