SIRINGO, CHARLES A. RIATA AND SPURS: The Story of a Lifetime Spent in the Saddle as Cowboy and Ranger. Boston Houghton Mifflin Co. 1931
Very Good

pp: xvi, 261. Illustrated with b&w photographs. Foreword by Gifford Pinchot. Bound in brown cloth, titled in gilt to the top board and spine and with a riata and spurs in gilt to the top board. Just a hint of sunning to the spine and with the lettering somewhat faded. Overall a nice tight, clean, copy. Charlie Siringo's fascinating autobiography. Born in 1855 he became a real cowpuncher who actually punched cows for a living at the age of twelve, in the course of his carreer making several drives up the Chisholm Trail with herds of several thousand cattle. He became a detective with Pinkertons in 1886 and at various times in his life he crossed paths with a lot of the Old West's famous and notorious characters.....Billy the Kid, John Wesley Hardin, Bill Longley, Ben Thompson, Clay Allison, Sam Bass, Pat Garrett. This is the second, revised, edition of Siringo's book; the first, published in 1927, was later withdrawn because the Pinkerton Detective Agency was not overly pleased with some of things that Charlie had to say about them and their methods. Siringo's experiences as the quintessential cowboy and determined detective helped romanticize the West and its myth of the American cowboy. He died in Altadena, California, on October 18, 1928. Second Edition Revised . No Jacket Decorative Cloth 8vo

France Malerba and Stefano Brusoni: Perspectives on Innovation, Cambridge, UK Cambridge University Press 2007
ISBN: 9780521685610 Brand New

Innovation has become a major field of study in economics, management, sociology, science and technology, and history. Case studies, empirical models, appreciative analyses and formal theories abound. However, after several decades of study on innovation, and so many different types of contribution, there are still many phenomena we know very little about. The debate on innovation still has much to deliver; important questions remain unanswered and many problems require solution. Bringing together many leading figures in the field, this collection aims to address these concerns by offering detailed analyses of topics that are crucial for understanding innovation. In addition, it offers discussions of topics that researchers are just beginning to explore and of topics that continue to defy our efforts to understand and systematise. This important and wide-ranging collection will be essential reading for academic researchers and graduate students who wish to gain a broad overview of frontier-research in innovation. ° Presents state-of-the-art research in the field of innovation studies ° Features contributions from many of the leading figures in the field ° Follows an interdisciplinary approach whereby different views of the same issue are compared and critically assessed Contents Introduction Franco Malerba and Stefano Brusoni; Part I.
