Like the Greeks who sailed with Jason in search of the Golden Fleece, the new Argonauts--foreign-born, technically skilled entrepreneurs who travel back and forth between Silicon Valley and their home countries--seek their fortune in distant lands by launching companies far from established centers of skill and technology. Their story illuminates profound transformations in the global economy. Economic geographer AnnaLee Saxenian has followed this transformation, exploring one of its great paradoxes: how the "brain drain" has become "brain circulation," a powerful economic force for development of formerly peripheral regions. The new Argonauts--armed with Silicon Valley experience and relationships and the ability to operate in two countries simultaneously--quickly identify market opportunities, locate foreign partners, and manage cross-border business operations. The New Argonauts extends Saxenian's pioneering research into the dynamics of competition in Silicon Valley. The book brings a fresh perspective to the way that technology entrepreneurs build regional advantage in order to compete in global markets. Scholars, policymakers, and business leaders will benefit from Saxenian's firsthand research into the investors and entrepreneurs who return home to start new companies while remaining tied to powerful economic and professional communities in the United States. For Americans accustomed to unchallenged economic domination, the fast-growing capabilities of China and India may seem threatening. But as Saxenian convincingly displays in this pathbreaking book, the Argonauts have made America richer, not poorer.

An intrepid voyage out to the frontiers of the latest thinking about love, language, and family Maggie Nelson's The Argonauts is a genre-bending memoir, a work of "autotheory" offering fresh, fierce, and timely thinking about desire, identity, and the limitations and possibilities of love and language. It binds an account of Nelson's relationship with her partner and a journey to and through a pregnancy to a rigorous exploration of sexuality, gender, and "family." An insistence on radical individual freedom and the value of caretaking becomes the rallying cry for this thoughtful, unabashed, uncompromising book.

New Argonauts are defined as American-educated scientists and engineers who have set up technology companies since returning to their home countries such as China, India, Israel and Taiwan (Saxenian, 2006). This thesis has developed Saxenian's New Argonauts to those who have become venture capitalists (VCs) in China. The aims of the thesis are three-fold: (1) to identify the role of New Argonaut VCs in China's venture capital industry; (2) to examine how New Argonauts use their transnational networks in their portfolio investments; and (3) to assess the impact of their investments on China's economic development. Semi-structured interviews with 33 returnee VCs and 3 returnee business angels were collected to address the above first and second research question. Furthermore, four case studies (two cases were sourced from the semi-structured interviews and two from the secondary data) were employed to address the second and third research question. The use of four cases allows for answering them in much more depth and in greater detail. And as a result, to obtain an insight into the venture capital process used by these New Argonaut VCs and their significant contributions to the effective venture capital industry in China. The findings of case studies further corroborate the proposed relationships tested by 36 in-depth interviews. Transnational networks between New Argonaut investors and the American VC industry and business communities play a vital role, enabling New Argonaut investors to raise funds from the American market successfully, to evaluate the state-of-the-art knowledge of technology, to have co-investment opportunities with foreign VC firms who are unfamiliar with the Chinese market, to create relationships between their portfolio firms and overseas customers, suppliers and strategic partners, and to help their portfolio firms to exit successfully especially in the U.S. equity market. New Argonaut VCs therefore facilitate the rapid economic development in China.

The story of Jason and the Argonauts is one of the most famous in Greek myth, and its development from the oldest layers of Greek mythology down to the modern age encapsulates the dramatic changes in faith, power and culture that Western civilization has seen over the past three millennia. From the Bronze Age to the Classical Age, from the medieval world to today, the Jason story has been told and retold with new stories, details and meanings. This book explores the epic history of a colorful myth and probes the most ancient origins of the quest for the Golden Fleece—a quest that takes us to the very dawn of Greek religion and its close relationship with Near Eastern peoples and cultures.

'Argonauts of the Desert' presents a revolutionary new commentary on the Bible and its origins, arguing that most biblical stories and laws were inspired by Greek literature. From Genesis to Kings, the books of the Bible may have been written by a single author, a Hellenized Judean scholar who used Plato's ideal state in The Laws as a primary source. As such, biblical Israel is a recreation of that twelve tribes State and the stories surrounding the birth, life and death of that State were inspired by Greek epics. Each chapter presents the biblical material and compares this to the Greek or Roman equivalents, discussing similarities and differences.
