Le foot mérite mieux que ça
Football français : le vrai et le faux Matches truqués, salaires des joueurs, violence, racisme, dopage... Et puis quoi d'autre encore ? Tout le monde veut faire le procès du football, ce " mis en examen " permanent de la société française. J'ai décidé de l'instruire. À charge et à décharge. Juge et partie, me direz-vous ? Sans doute, j'aime le football comme beaucoup d'entre vous. Ce qui ne m'empêche pas de détester ce que j'y vois parfois. Mais ce que je déteste par-dessus tout, c'est l'injustice, les préjugés, les idées reçues, la mauvaise foi et la malhonnêteté intellectuelle. Il y en a dans le football, bien sûr, comme partout. Et il y en a aussi chez ceux qui s'obstinent à le voir avec un regard déformé par les a priori. J'ai donc essayé de revêtir tour à tour l'habit de procureur et la robe de l'avocat pour tenter de démêler le vrai du faux dans les principales accusations portées contre le football français d'aujourd'hui. Et après, à vous de juger ! F. T.
Quatre ans après
François Mitterrand a été élu en 1981. C'est la première fois qu'un président de la République socialiste, et son gouvernement, sont responsables de la France durant une aussi longue période. Frédéric Thiriez, trente-trois ans, énarque, alpiniste (6 400 m dans l'Himalaya), ancien parachutiste, motard invétéré, ne supportait plus les demi-déceptions et les découragements. Avec quelques amis, il a décidé d'établir le relevé précis des réalisations de l'équipe actuelle. Source d'informations, ce livre rassemble sous des rubriques variées, tout ce qui a été accompli depuis 1981 dans les domaines les plus divers. Il permet, sur la base d'informations vérifiables, de mes...
Dictionnaire amoureux de la montagne
Un éloge passionné de la montagne, mêlant expériences vécues, sensations, lectures et rencontres avec des adeptes de ce milieu. Fascination, émerveillement, peur, joie, fierté, beauté, paix, sacré, jubilation, découragement, triomphe, souffrance, frustration, injustice, voire horreur ... la montagne suscite tour à tour ces sentiments puissants. Placez un gamin de trois ans au pied d'un tas de gravier ou d'un gros caillou : son premier réflexe sera d'y grimper. Formidable terrain de jeu et d'émotions, la montagne réveille l'enfant qui est en nous. Pourquoi y allons-nous, au prix d'efforts toujours, de souffrances souvent et, pour certains même, de leur vie ? " Parce qu'elle est là " disait l'inoubliable amoureux de l'Everest, Georges Mallory. Jolie échappatoire, que j'aurais volontiers complétée par un " parce que je suis là " ! Tant il est vrai que l'on n'escalade jamais que sa montagne intérieure. Frédéric Thiriez emmène le lecteur dans une promenade amoureuse, à travers ces lieux magiques, ces légendes, ces héros, ces mystères, ces sensations qui font la montagne, mais aussi les drames, les mensonges et les querelles qui l'entourent.
Governing from the Centre
"The research findings offer precise cautionary recommendations to policy makers against the dangers of overconfident recourse to 'joined up' government. The findings are relevant, not merely to France, but also to Western states more generally."--Jacket.
Global Sport Marketing
Globalization has had a profound impact on the sports industry, creating an international market in which sports teams, leagues and players have become internationally recognized brands. This important new study of contemporary sports marketing examines the opportunities and threats posed by a global sports market, outlining the tools and strategies that marketers and managers can use to take advantage of those opportunities. The book surveys current trends, issues and best practice in international sport marketing, providing a useful blend of contemporary theory and case studies from the Americas, Europe and Asia. It assesses the impact of globalization on teams, leagues, players, sponsors and equipment manufacturers, and highlights the central significance of culture on the development of effective marketing strategy. Global Sport Marketing is key reading for any advanced student, researcher or practitioner working in sport marketing or sport business.

Marketing and Football
Football is arguably one of the most important sports in the world, and the marketing of football has become an increasingly important issue, as clubs and product owners need to generate more revenue from the sport. In a wider context, football marketing has also become a benchmarking standard for other sports to learn from worldwide. The practices and processes of such an established industry are important lessons for those sports which are yet to maximise on their potential earnings, and provide interesting lessons in sports marketing in general. Marketing and Football: an international approach is the first book to provide a comprehensive and entirely global approach to this subject. Writ...
Fighting for Justice
This is a time when the rule of law is seriously challenged, when governments threaten deliberately to break the law, and the independence of justice is jeopardised by unrelenting pressure from both the executive and the media. This book aims at contributing to restoring trust in judges as custodians of the law and justice, through a comparison between Civil and Common Law countries. It offers a rare opportunity to gather the expertise of eminent judges and legal authorities from five different countries, providing a unique insight into their work and the way they deliver justice based on their respective professional experience and practise of the law. Far from being a highly technical debate between experts, however, the book is accessible to students and the general public, and raises important contemporary legal issues that involve them both as citizens, with justice as a shared aspiration, and a common attachment to the rule of law.
A Few Acres of Ice
A Few Acres of Ice is an in-depth study of France's complex relationship with the Antarctic, from the search for Terra Australis by French navigators in the sixteenth century to France's role today as one of seven states laying claim to part of the white continent. Janet Martin-Nielsen focuses on environment, sovereignty, and science to reveal not only the political, commercial, and religious challenges of exploration but also the interaction between environmental concerns in polar regions and the geopolitical realities of the twenty-first century. Martin-Nielsen details how France has worked (and at times not worked) to perform sovereignty in Terre Adélie, from the territory's integration into France's colonial empire to France's integral role in making the environment matter in Antarctic politics. As a result, A Few Acres of Ice sheds light on how Terre Adeìlie has altered human perceptions and been constructed by human agency since (and even before) its discovery.
