Sommario/riassunto

This book is a lively commentary on the eighteenth-century mad-business, its practitioners, its patients (or "customers"), and its patrons, viewed through the unique lens of the private case book kept by the most famous mad-doctor in Augustan England, Dr. John Monro (1715-1791). Monro's case book, comprising the doctor's jottings on patients he saw in the course of his private practice--patients drawn from a great variety of social strata--offers an extraordinary window into the subterranean world of the mad-trade in eighteenth-century London. The volume concludes with a complete edition of the case book itself, transcribed in full with editorial annotations by the authors. In the fragmented stories Monro's case book provides, Andrews and Scull find



a poignant underworld of human psychological distress, some of it strange and some quite familiar. They place these "cases" in a real world where John Monro and other successful doctors were practicing, not to say inventing, the diagnosis and treatment of madness.

Sommario/riassunto

Working life is in a major transition and environmental, societal, and economic problems challenge human activities. The need to develop reliance and sustainability also through higher education is evident. It has been anticipated that emphasis on entrepreneurship competencies will be even stronger in the future. In this reprint, we provide insights on how to develop entrepreneurial competencies within higher education and its existing networks. It guides the reader to understand how political documents steer the implementation of global goals and what could be improved. Second, we present how pedagogical solutions and models can meaningfully support the development of entrepreneurial competencies in the field of higher education. We show the complexity of this phenomenon, thus developing a deeper understanding of this educational issue. Third, we highlight the



essence of developing teacher education in this context. Fourth, we stress that entrepreneurial competencies are also needed in the working life. We present some interesting key points for developing entrepreneurial higher education from the entrepreneurial ecosystem point of view. It consists of 13 articles from international scientific experts in this field and provides new knowledge, ideas and opportunities for creating practices to enhance the development entrepreneurial, sustainable and resilient societies. It is targeted to researchers, policy-makers, higher education providers, stakeholders, educators and trainers.
