Book Description
Excerpt from Sport on Land and Water, Vol. 2: Recollections A good sportsman is a man who has de veloped his mind and body in the open air and who has good control over both, who has a keen eye, a level head, and a light hand. He is a man who is kind and con siderate to all living things, who has good judgment, who can do no wrong nor sus peot evil in others, who does not crow over his own success, and who has learned to accept defeat with a smiling countenance, yet does not accept it until the last breath has left his body.

The Cambridge World History of Genocide
Author: Ned Blackhawk
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108806597
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 855
Book Description
Volume II documents and analyses genocide and extermination throughout the early modern and modern eras. It tracks their global expansion as European and Asian imperialisms, and Euroamerican settler colonialism, spread across the globe before the Great War, forging new frontiers and impacting Indigenous communities in Europe, Asia, North America, Africa, and Australia. Twenty-five historians with expertise on specific regions explore examples on five continents, providing comparisons of nine cases of conventional imperialism with nineteen of settler colonialism, and offering a substantial basis for assessing the various factors leading to genocide. This volume also considers cases where genocide did not occur, permitting a global consideration of the role of imperialism and settler-Indigenous relations from the sixteenth to the early twentieth centuries. It ends with six pre-1918 cases from Australia, China, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe that can be seen as 'premonitions' of the major twentieth-century genocides in Europe and Asia.
