Peter Lang AG Die deutsche Pferdewirtschaft:
Book SynopsisDer Sammelband führt aktuelle wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zu den vielfältigen Segmenten der deutschen Pferdewirtschaft praxisrelevant aufbereitet zusammen. Betriebswirtschaftliche Fragestellungen stehen im Blickpunkt von Unternehmen, Dienstleistern oder Pferdebetrieben, die es sich zum Ziel gesetzt haben, unternehmerisch erfolgreich zu sein. Das Pferd als Hobby steht wiederum bei mehr als drei Millionen Personen im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Ob Ausgleich zum Alltag, sportlicher Erfolg oder Naturverbundenheit zum Pferdesport kommen die Menschen aus unterschiedlichen Motiven. Der Kontrast zwischen wirtschaftlicher Unternehmung und Hobby mag die Begründung für den insgesamt niedrigen Professionalisierungsgrad in der Pferdewirtschaft sein. Dieser Band richtet sich an Verbände, Betriebsleiter von Pferdebetrieben und an Studierende und Hochschulen aus den Bereichen der Pferde- und Agrarwissenschaften sowie dem Sportmanagement.

University of Illinois Press College Football and American Culture in the Cold
Book Synopsis The Cold War era spawned a host of anxieties in American society, and in response, Americans sought cultural institutions that reinforced their sense of national identity and held at bay their nagging insecurities. They saw football as a broad, though varied, embodiment of national values. College teams in particular were thought to exemplify the essence of America: strong men committed to hard work, teamwork, and overcoming pain. Toughness and defiance were primary virtues, and many found in the game an idealized American identity. In this book, Kurt Kemper charts the steadily increasing investment of American national ideals in the presentation and interpretation of college football, beginning with a survey of the college game during World War II. From the Army-Navy game immediately before Pearl Harbor, through the gradual expansion of bowl games and television coverage, to the public debates over racially integrated teams, college football became ever more a playing fiTrade Review"A significant book in understanding how college football, the dominating college sport, was impacted by both the Cold War and racial relations in the turbulent period around the 1960s."--The International Journal of the History of Sport"A provocative, richly detailed, and deeply researched study of college football's role as an embodiment of defiantly 'American' values during the Cold War. An important contribution to sports history and a model of exemplary research."--Michael Oriard, author of The End of Autumn: Reflections on My Life in Football"This wonderful work examines an extremely interesting and revealing episode in the history of college football that exposes the significance of race as a force in the society of the late 50s and early 60s. It demonstrates the power of Cold War rhetoric as a political device for the defenders of the status quo."--Richard C.

University of Illinois Press Coming On Strong
Book SynopsisAcclaimed since its original publication, Coming on Strong has become a much-cited touchstone in scholarship on women and sports. In this new edition, Susan K. Cahn updates her detailed history of women's sport and the struggles over gender, sexuality, race, class, and policy that have often defined it. A new chapter explores the impact of Title IX and how the opportunities and interest in sports it helped create reshaped women's lives even as the legislation itself came under sustained attack.Trade Review"Coming on Strong has long been the go-to book for the history of women in sport. Now it moves boldly into the twenty-first century. Assessing the enormous changes that have reshaped the sports landscape since the 1970s, it reminds us that the playing field is still far from level and challenges us to make the ongoing quest for gender equity in sport part of the larger struggle for social change." --Susan Ware, author of Game, Set, Match: Billie Jean King and the Revolution in Women's Sports

MO - University of Illinois Press Sports in the Western World
Book Synopsis'Human beings cannot live by bread alone. They dream and they strive. Not merely for warmth do they take fire from the altar of the gods; curiosity is their glory and their pain. They climb mountains, cross uncharted seas, and explore outer space for reasons other than material benefit. They thrive on challenges. Seekers of laurel, they especially measure themselves in competition with fellow humans. Where there is no contest, they create one. From deep within, and from millennia past, comes the impulse for athletic competition. This book is about the history of competitive sports in the Western world--from ancient religious ritual and simple tribal contests to highly organized modern spectacles.'--From the introductionTrade Review"A complete sports history from Paleolithic times to the present. There's something revealing on almost every page of this fine effort."--Publisher's Weekly"Lively narrative. . . . [I]ts virtues are rich detail, extended coverage, and a fluid writing style."--Historian"Every . . . sporting even, from amateur Olympics to professional media hypes [is] presented in this thorough, well-composed chronicle."--Best Sellers"[This] ambitious book examines the impulses behind the games that man has always played. . . . Entertaining throughout."--Kliatt"An elegant book, which examines the rise of competitive sport in Western society from ancient times to the present. . . . The focus is on athletes, sporting patrons, spectators, and opinion makers. . . . Highly recommended."--Choice
