Die sich in den letzten Jahren vollziehenden Umbrüche der Wirtschafts- und Gesellschaftssysteme in Ost- und Südosteuropa sowie die Vereinigung der beiden Staaten in Deutschland stellen die Soziale Marktwirtschaft als eine Konzeption, die eine menschengerechte Ordnung von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft zum Ziel hat, vor neue Probleme und Aufgaben. In der vorliegenden Festschrift, die Gernot Gutmann zum 65. Geburtstag gewidmet ist, wird von den Autoren in zahlreichen Beiträgen dieses Ordnungsmodell oder das, was ursprünglich von Walter Eucken, Wilhelm Röpke, Alfred Müller-Armack sowie von Ludwig Erhard und anderen als ein solches konzipiert wurde, in seiner geschichtlichen Entwicklung bis h...

During the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta, much of the world watched and celebrated as athletes broke world records and took home medals, fulfilling their Olympic dreams. The athletes' scores were available instantaneously and are now easily accessible, but what about the performance records of the first modern Olympic athletes? The Modern Olympic Games began in 1896 in Athens, Greece, but an official record of these Olympic games does not exist. This work is the first in a series of comprehensive reference works giving the results of the Olympic Games, beginning in 1896. Based primarily on 1896 sources, the sites, dates, events, competitors, and nations as well as the event results are compiled herein for track and field, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, shooting, swimming, tennis (lawn), weightlifting, wrestling and other sports and events. Although mainly a statistical analysis, this work does include a short synopsis of the Sorbonne Congress and reprints of famous articles about the Olympics.

One day in front of the television would convince any alien that the entirety of American culture is built around sports. Politics and business are abustle with sports metaphors and endorsements by athletes. "Home runs," "bottom of the ninth," "fourth and ten," "slam dunk," and similar phrases litter the daily vocabulary. No matter how dire the news, sports will be reported as usual. How did this single-minded fascination come to be? Mark Dyreson locates the invasion of sport at the heart of American culture at the turn of the century. It was then that social reformers and political leaders believed that sport could revitalize the "republican experiment," that a new sense of national identity could forge a new sense of community and a healthy political order as it would serve to link America's thinking classes with the experiences of the masses. Nowhere was this better exemplified than in American accounts of the Olympic Games held between 1896 and 1912. In connecting sport to American history and culture, Dyreson has stepped up to the plate and hit one out of the park. A volume in the series Sport and Society, edited by Benjamin G. Rader and Randy Roberts
