Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book is unique in addressing the less-discussed aspects of fieldwork including âe soft skills' such as communication, planning and logistics as well as basic technical skills used in environmental research. While training and standard operating procedures are available for the latter category, little support is given to students and early career researchers regarding the former, despite their importance. This book attempts to address this knowledge gap and further, could be used as a support to graduate and undergraduate field courses and modules"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
America's Mission argues that the global strength and prestige of democracy today are due in large part to America's impact on international affairs. Tony Smith documents the extraordinary history of how American foreign policy has been used to try to promote democracy worldwide, an effort that enjoyed its greatest triumphs in the occupations of Japan and Germany but suffered huge setbacks in Latin America, Vietnam, and elsewhere. With new chapters and a new introduction and epilogue, this expanded edition also traces U.S. attempts to spread democracy more recently, under presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama, and assesses America's role in the Arab Spring. |
