Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Incidents of Foreign Sport and Travel The "Incidents" related in this work have been put together as a guide to the numerous class of sportsmen who, year by year, go abroad in search of game. Very many men lose their lives yearly, simply from a superabundance of pluck; and the want of training in wild sports, which is as necessary to a successful hunter as learning A B C is to a youth prior to reading and writing. There is no royal road to learning, nor can a man become a proficient as a hunter who has not acquired the knack by undergoing a great deal of toil; for experience is only learnt after years of practice. The author may be said to have commenced his novitiate before he was six years old, as he was then allowed to sit in the back seat of his father's howdah in charge of an orderly, and as soon as he was capable of using a gun or a rifle, he graduated in sport under competent guidance, and learned how the ferœ naturœ should be followed up to the bitter end with safety to himself and attendants.

The book provides an international analysis drawing on emerging empirical research conducted across a diverse range of sport and leisure activities and contrasting locations.

Download or read book The empire of nature written by John M. MacKenzie and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study assesses the significance of the hunting cult as a major element of the imperial experience in Africa and Asia. Through a study of the game laws and the beginnings of conservation in the 19th and early-20th centuries, the author demonstrates the racial inequalities which existed between Europeans and indigenous hunters. Africans were denied access to game, and the development of game reserves and national parks accelerated this process. Indigenous hunters in Africa and India were turned into "poachers" and only Europeans were permitted to hunt. In India, the hunting of animals became the chief recreation of military officers and civilian officials, a source of display and symbolic dominance of the environment. Imperial hunting fed the natural history craze of the day, and many hunters collected trophies and specimens for private and public collections as well as contributing to hunting literature. Adopting a radical approach to issues of conservation, this book links the hunting cult in Africa and India to the development of conservation, and consolidates widely-scattered material on the importance of hunting to the economics and nutrition of African societies.
Download or read book Risk and Safety Management in the Leisure Events Tourism and Sports Industries written by Mark Piekarz and published by CABI. This book was released on 2015-09-02 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of risk and safety is not simply a matter of trying to remove risks, but is necessary and vital to these industries. Sensible risk management is concerned with making the most of the positive opportunities or reducing the negative risks. This books shows how the absence of explicit risk practices is not necessarily an absence of risk management, and how many existing operational and strategic practices can be understood as part of a process of risk and safety management. Its main objective is to develop greater clarity in the communication of risks and the development of safety programmes, illustrating how organisations can use a single language of risk, relevant for all levels of management and areas of operation.
