Sorin and Sessions have masterfully unveiled several case studies that illuminate the stories of institutional leaders who had the courage and tenacity to interpret external pressures and opportunities anew, to exercise adept flexibility, and to persevere with patience and humility in order to create something remarkable and refreshingly different. These stories will aid and inspire trustees and leaders to step back to reframe their reality, to ask different questions, and to explore new models that reflect more robust ways of being with their public. This collection is a welcome addition to the literature and the ongoing conversation of relevancy and sustainability in our institutions and museums. * AASLH History News * Case Studies in Cultural Entrepreneurship puts a name and a face to the concept of calculated risk taking in the nonprofit cultural sector by focusing on how relevancy and sustainability can be achieved despite competing environments and often harsh socio-economic realities. Five case studies offer an in-depth look at how leaders identify opportunities and implement change by extending the definition of community, embracing bold civic responsibility, building critical partnerships across many levels, and adopting flexible, responsive business cultures. You've heard for years that cultural institutions must become entrepreneurial; here are tools and inspiration to help you do it. -- Anne W.

These varied case studies show the creative strategies, powerful ideas, collaboration, practicality, patience, and willingness to risk that entrepreneurial leaders can use to work 'magic.' Leaders, staff, board, volunteers, community members, students-those seasoned and those just starting out-will find inspiration and pragmatic insights in these well-crafted real-life stories. -- Lynne Ireland, Deputy Director of the Nebraska State Historical Society and Chair of the Council of the American Association for State and Local History
