The book, Global Exposition of Wildlife Management, covers five research topics connected to wildlife management. From conservation and domestication of species from the wild, the socioeconomic importance of wildlife to Tuberculosis within wildlife species as an emerging health threat for both wildlife and humans. Topics presented also discuss bush-meat utilization and its impact on biodiversity conservation, community forestry management and its role in biodiversity conservation, food and feeding ecology, urban forestry, and integrated island management for ecologically sensitive areas. This book also presents wildlife conservation research using a public aquarium as a case study. Each chapter gives special reference to the prevailing problems in wildlife conservation and hopes to provide possible solutions.

What is 'Europe' and who are 'Europeans'? Data Practices approaches this contemporary political and theoretical question by treating it as a practical problem of counting. Only through the myriad data practices that make up methods such as censuses can EU member states know their national populations, and this in turn is utilized by the EU to understand the population of Europe. But this volume approaches data practices not simply as reflecting populations but as performative in two senses: they simultaneously enact that is, make up a European population and, by so doing intentionally or otherwise also contribute to making up a European people.the book develops a conception of data practices to analyze and interpret findings from collaborative ethnographic multisite fieldwork conducted by an interdisciplinary team of social science researchers as part of a five-year project, Peopling Europe: How Data Make a People. The book focuses on data practices that involve establishing and assigning people to categories and how this matters in enacting Europe as a population and people. Five core chapters explore key categories of people usual residents, refugees, homeless people, migrants, and ethnic minorities and how they come into being through specific data practices such as defining, estimating, recalibrating and inferring. Two additional chapters address two key subject positions that data practices produce and require: the data subject and the statistician subject.

"In the first book ever published on Indigenous quantitative methodologies, Maggie Walter and Chris Andersen open up a major new approach to research across the disciplines and applied fields. While qualitative methods have been rigorously critiqued and reformulated, the population statistics relied on by virtually all research on Indigenous peoples continue to be taken for granted as straightforward, transparent numbers. This book dismantles that persistent positivism with a forceful critique, then fills the void with a new paradigm for Indigenous quantitative methods, using concrete examples of research projects from First World Indigenous peoples in the United States, Australia, and Canada. Concise and accessible, it is an ideal supplementary text as well as a core component of the methodological toolkit for anyone conducting Indigenous research or using Indigenous population statistics"--

C’est à une passionnante enquête au cœur des archives que nous convie Olivier Faure, entre impasses et découvertes, suspense et rebondissements. Il suit le parcours d’un obscur épicier ambulant de la région de Tarare (près de Lyon) qui, au xixe siècle, réussit en leurrant les autorités à obtenir le titre d’officier de santé. Au fil du récit, la personnalité complexe de Jean-Pierre Françon se dessine, imprégnée par la société de l’Ancien Régime (en matière de commerce, d’économie, de rapports sociaux…) et poussée par un caractère fort et une intelligence sociale qui vont lui permettre d’échapper au déterminisme et de s’élever au-dessus de sa condition. C’est également le portrait d’une profession qui se révèle : celle des officiers de santé, qui n’ont pas suivi les études nécessaires pour devenir médecins et parcouraient les campagnes pour apporter les soins qui faisaient défaut à la population, parfois de façon peu orthodoxe ou aux dépens des malades eux-mêmes. Tout comme celui du Pinagot d’Alain Corbin en son temps, le cheminement du Françon d’Olivier Faure vient éclairer l’histoire de France et de son peuple d’une nouvelle lumière, certes ténue mais désormais essentielle.
