The burgeoning of interest in entrepreneurship in society has been accompanied by an increase in the scientific base of the field. This Handbook with contributions from world-class researchers, not only reflects this trend but also contributes to the field by pushing forward its intellectual and scientific roots. It groups the contributions into four perspectives and draws upon a broad disciplinary base. Alain Fayolle has edited a very stimulating work that should be read by all those seriously interested in entrepreneurship. --- Robert Blackburn, Kingston University, UK and Editor, International Small Business Journal
