Reindeer Management in Northernmost Europe

The findings presented in this volume represent a concerted effort to develop a more inclusive form of reindeer management for northernmost Europe. Our guiding principle has been to foster a new paradigm of participatory research. We wish to move beyond the historical reliance on western approaches to basic and applied science. These have been concerned prim- ily with interactions between herded animals and the various components of their biophysical environment, e. g. , plants, insects, predators, climate, and others. In our view,sociocultural and economic drivers,along with herders¿ experience-based knowledge,gain equal currency in the effort to understand how management may mitigate against the negative aspects of the challenges modern herding faces, while also exploring concepts of sustainability from different perspectives (see also Jernsletten and Klokov 2002; Kankaanpää et al. 2002; Ulvevadet and Klokov 2004). This broadening of the pool of disciplines and local,national,and int- national stakeholders in policy-relevant research invariably complicates v- tually all aspects of the research process. Multidisciplinary or, in our sense, transdisciplinary approaches also require extraordinary effort from all p- ticipants if they are to succeed. As such, those approaches should not be undertaken lightly, nor without personnel who possess appropriate expe- ence in cooperating with those of different disciplines and, preferably, also with relevant practitioners and public social and administrative institutions. In such settings the potential for misunderstandings is quite high.

Oorlogsvloot van De Rotterdamsche Lloyd ’40-’45

'Oorlogsvloot van de Rotterdamsche Lloyd - '40-'45' verhaalt over de bijdrage die de schepen en hun bemanningen van de Rotterdamsche Lloyd leverden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Veel van het persoonlijke leven van de zeelieden in die oorlogsjaren is onderbelicht gebleven. Het speelde zich ver van huis en haard af. Het thuisfront verkeerde al die jaren in grote onzekerheid over het lot van hun geliefden. Het enige contact was af en toe een Rode Kruis telegram waarmee een teken van leven werd gegeven. Bijna driehonderd zeelieden van de Rotterdamsche Lloyd verloren het leven. Anderen kwamen in Jappenkampen terecht. De helft van de Lloyd-vloot ging gedurende de vijandelijkheden ten onder. Dit boek richt aan de hand van uniek archiefmateriaal de schijnwerper op de rol van de mail- en vrachtschepen van de Rotterdamsche Lloyd en van het vlootpersoneel dat op alle wereldzeeën dienstdeed onder de meest moeilijke omstandigheden. De schepen brachten soldaten, oorlogsmaterieel, voedsel en grondstoffen naar de oorlogsgebieden. Vooral in het begin van de oorlog genoten zij een minimum aan bescherming. De zeelieden die aanvankelijk nog op vrijwillige basis waren aangemonsterd, kwamen later onder de verplichtingen van het "Vaarplichtbesluit 1942" te vallen.
