'Instead of presenting new research findings in entrepreneurship, this new book provides interesting stories about many of the luminary scholars in the field of entrepreneurship. Their intellectual and academic journeys are interesting and shed light on how entrepreneurship emerged as a genuine cross-disciplinary field of research.' - Robert Fairlie, Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA
'The autobiographical essays in this unique book reveal the passions and motivations of the scholars whose works created the surge in entrepreneurship research, and it provides an essential history of the thinkers and their thoughts' - John T. Scott, Professor of Economics, Dartmouth College, USA
'This book is an extraordinary guide to the mysterious world of entrepreneurship. It is an attempt at defining a non-disciplinary area, born like a new country with blurred boundaries open to continuous contamination. Exploring entrepreneurship is often finding something that is necessary but never sufficient to define it. Despite this, a new community has grown around it. This book presents a cultural challenge (not only to academia) that will fit our agenda in the decades to come.' - Stefano Paleari, Full Professor of Finance, University of Bergamo, Italy
