Some scholars have edited a book about the US and Soviet sport diplomacy and show ow the government of these two countries have used sport during this period, notably as a tool of "soft power" during the Olympic games. Our goal is to continue in this direction and to focus more on the sport field as a place of exchanges during the Cold War. Regarding this point, our aim is to show that there were events "beyond boycotts"many and that unknown connections existed inside sport. Morevoer, many actors were involved in these exchanges. Thus, it is important not only to focus on the action of States, but also on private actors (international sporting bodies and journalists), considering that they acted around sport (an "apolitic" field) as it was tool to maintain links between the two blocs. Our project offers a good opportunity for young scholars to present original research based on new materials (notably the use of institutional or personals archives). Morevoer, it is also a step forward with a view to conduct research within a global history paradigm, one that is still underused in sport academic fields.SportsEuropeHistory20th centuryEuropeHistory20th centurySport historyCold WarDiplomacyEntanglementsSportsHistory796.094HIS037080HIS010010HIS010020HIS054000HIS032000bisacshVonnard Philippeedt865968Vonnard PhilippeSbetti NicolaQuin GrégoryMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996472052803316Beyond boycotts3358431UNISA05247nam 2201057Ia 450 991078338980332120230617012957.01-282-35730-197866123573050-520-93063-01-4175-4515-110.1525/9780520930636(CKB)1000000000024214(EBL)224706(OCoLC)228113312(SSID)ssj0000152049(PQKBManifestationID)11147129(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000152049(PQKBWorkID)10322325(PQKB)10418259(StDuBDS)EDZ0000055770(OCoLC)56713888(MdBmJHUP)muse30404(MiAaPQ)EBC224706(DE-B1597)520506(DE-B1597)9780520930636(Au-PeEL)EBL224706(CaPaEBR)ebr10068609(CaONFJC)MIL235730(EXLCZ)99100000000002421420040705d2004 uy 0engurnn#---|u||utxtccrExperimental approaches to conservation biology[electronic resource] /edited by Malcolm S.

African National Parks under Challenge --Systematic Index --Subject IndexWe are living in the early stages of a looming worldwide extinction crisis. Abundant evidence shows that the current rate of species extinctions is nearing its highest level since the asteroid collision 65 million years ago, and that humans are largely responsible. This book addresses the urgent need to understand and find solutions to this crisis. Written by an international team of contributors who are among the best-known and most active experimental biologists working in the field of conservation biology today, it provides a unique approach by focusing on individual species rather than whole plant and animal communities. Emphasizing throughout how conservation biology can benefit from an experimental approach, the book looks at a wide range of terrestrial and aquatic species-from giant pandas and tree snails to sea turtles and Steller sea lions-and demonstrates what can be done both to preserve rare species and to combat invasive organisms. Finally, contributors show how we can bridge the gap between policy makers and research scientists in order to develop lasting solutions to these problems.Conservation biologyBiology, Experimentalamphibians.animal populations.australia.biodiversity.biology.conservation.desert tortoise.ecology.ecosystem.endangered animals.environment.environmentalism.extinction.grassland.hawaiian tree snails.healthy ocean.invasive species.leatherneck sea turtles.marine animals.marine biology.marsupials.national parks.native plants.natural sciences.new zealand.nonfiction.ocean animals.ocean.oceanography.rock iguanas.science.sea lions.sea.Conservation biology.Biology, Experimental.639.9Gordon Malcolm S511909Bartol Soraya M.1970-1463399MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783389803321Experimental approaches to conservation biology3672679UNINA
