    "Diversity is the nature of humanity because the profiles of men and women have highly diverse features. The same applies to the structure, behavior and results of the groups they form, or the institutions they create and the governance tools they use. This evidence has become an axiom of everything that concerns humanity. Globalization has brought people and all their differences together to act in a unique, dynamically diverse space in constant transformation In the nineties, scientists such as Offerman and Gowing (IPD, 1996) researched the impact of diversity in the corporate communities. The findings again confirmed that global megadiversity, when managed, fosters innovation and therefore makes unprecedented contribution to the creation of the mechanisms that are driving humanity to the highest levels of accelerated development. Diversity and inclusion management must be a compulsory course in all education systems so that men and women in their professional life leverage this core competence"--

    In the edited collection Athletics in the Nordic Countries, scholars from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden explore historical developments and current phenomena in the sport of athletics (track and field). The chapters provide insight into sport officials, events, and athletes from the Nordic countries that have shaped the international athletics scene. The authors identify the leading role of sport leaders from Scandinavia in the foundation years and highlight how athletics' events held in the region were milestones in the transformation of the sport. Athletics' international governing body World Athletics was founded in Sweden in 1912 as the International Amateur Athletic Federation. Seventy years later, Finland hosted the first World Athletics Championships in Helsinki in 1983. In between those turning points, Nordic officials and athletes promoted significant changes in athletics, and their innovative approaches continue to shape the development of the sport until today

    ""With Justice for All" is a narrative social history of disability in America. This book incorporates individual lived experiences, historical figures, legal developments, and social movements. The story of disability told here is arguably the story of America. Historian Douglas Bayton maintained that disability is everywhere-once you begin to look for it-and this text attempts to look in many places, some of which have not been looked into before by the critical scholarly eye. The story also brings the Disability Rights Movement (DRM) into its proper historical position, side by side with the Civil and Gender Rights Movements and the ongoing imagination of a more equitable America"--

    "When Adolf Hitler hosted the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, he used the Games to rally political support for his white supremacist worldview. In doing so, Hitler not only ruptured the myth that politics and sports do not mix, but he also initiated the first major instance of sportswashing: hosting a sports mega-event to launder one's stained reputation on the world stage. The 1936 Berlin Olympics: Race, Power, and Sportswashing situates these controversial Games in the longer political history of the Olympics. In the United States, the Berlin Olympics catalyzed a raucous, if ultimately unsuccessful, boycott campaign that raised serious concerns about racialized repression in Germany. The Berlin Summer Games furnished a high-profile testing ground for racial theories rooted in white supremacy. This book demonstrates how the Olympic Games have long been both a pedestal for autocrats to boost their unsavory regimes and a flashpoint for human-rights criticism"--
