Developing the Prosocial Entrepreneur critically examines the current unsustainable business model of entrepreneur education and training that often prioritises unlimited growth and consumption and does not consider the negative impacts business decisions have on our health and the environment. The research underpinning this book shows that business owners want to know how they can use their entrepreneurial skills to ensure progress for themselves, the business, and society at a meaningful level. The book will enable business trainers and coaches to help their business owner clients imagine what a sustainable business and society would look like. This in turn will help create opportunities for business owners to develop the knowledge and skills that will enable a more ethical and sustainable way of doing business. The book calls for a shift in mindset from "business as usual" to a more sustainable and inclusive approach.

The third edition of this highly successful manual is not only a revised text but has been extended to meet the interpretive needs of Raman users as well as those working in the IR region. The result is a uniquely practical, comprehensive and detailed source for spectral interpretation. Combining in one volume, the correlation charts and tables for spectral interpretation for these two complementary techniques, this book will be of great benefit to those using or considering either technique. In addition to the new Raman coverage the new edition offers: *new section on macromolecules including synthetic polymers and biomolecules; *expansion of the section on NIR (near infrared region) to reflect *recent growth in this area; *extended chapter on inorganic compounds including minerals and glasses; *redrawn and updated charts plus a number of new charts *covering data new to this edition. This new edition will be invaluable in every industrial, university, government and hospital laboratory where infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectral data need to be analysed.
