Die in Rechtswissenschaft und Rechtspraxis diskutierten Versuche, das Wesen der persönlichen geistigen Schöpfung im Urheberrecht zu beschreiben, kranken daran, dass dem Begriff des Geistigen zu geringe Beachtung geschenkt wird. Ausgehend von den Problemen und Resultaten der modernen Philosophie des Geistes entwickelt Helmut Haberstumpf eine umfassende zeitunabhängige Theorie des urheberrechtlichen Werkbegriffs jenseits der Grenzen der nationalen und internationalen Urheberrechtsordnungen, die auch eine befriedigende Abgrenzung zu den Schutzgegenständen der verwandten Schutzrechte und der Immaterialgüterrechte ermöglicht. Sie erklärt, welche Eigenschaften geistige Gegenstände haben, wie sie in ihren materiellen Vorkommnissen identisch oder ähnlich wiedererkannt werden können und wann sie trotz der Gebundenheit allen geistigen Schaffens an Regeln und Konventionen schöpferisch sind.

Seine Eltern waren der preußische Generalleutnant Henning von Heydebreck (1828 -1904) und dessen erster Ehefrau Anna, geborene von Colmar (1837 -1879).Er wurde insbesondere durch seine im Jahr 1935 beendete Bearbeitung (und sprachliche Modernisierung) des Standardwerks Gymnasium des Pferdes von Gustav Steinbrecht in dessen vierter Auflage einem breiten reiterlichen Publikum bekannt. In dem von ihm neu verfassten Nachwort verwies er auf den drohenden Untergang der klassischen Reitkunst: "Schaffen wir uns nicht ein Institut, das uns neue Meister heranbildet, so geht uns die Reitkunst unmerklich aber sicher verloren."Er heiratete am 10. April 1896 in Stettin Emilie Lichtenberg. Das Paar hatte mehrere Töchter.

A fascinating tour of Oakland sports history and a look toward the future of professional sports in the East Bay. Oakland is a sports city like no other. It is the only city in America to be abandoned by the same team twice, with the Raiders most recently leaving for Las Vegas. The Golden State Warriors, who crossed the bay in 1971 in search of better digs, have now returned to San Francisco with trophies in tow. The long-fought battle to keep the Oakland Athletics in the East Bay may narrowly save the city from a hat trick of departures. And yet, Oakland has produced more than its share of success in the form of 10 league championships across the NFL, NBA, and MLB. The city is gritty, gutsy, and self-preserving, with a blue-collar mentality and a gold standard under that collar. Bolstered by the Silicon Valley tech boom, Oakland has become one of the most desirable places to live in the entire country, all while its sports fans are increasingly made to feel that, in the famous words of Gertrude Stein, "There is no there there." What is it about Oakland that inspires such wanderlust in its professional teams? Featuring numerous conversations with luminaries across sports, politics, and economics, this new book explores Oakland's fascinating and paradoxical identity as a sports town while illuminating a cast of characters as diverse as the city itself: rogues, superstars, movers and shakers operating on and off the field, and the ill-treated fans. Through the insight of venerated Oakland Tribune scribe Dave Newhouse and sports business leader Andy Dolich, readers will come to appreciate the many quirks and challenges that define "The Town."

Connecticut has a long history of producing outstanding sports teams and athletes. Two of the greatest teams to come out of the state are the legendary Brakettes and Falcons women's fast-pitch softball teams. In their seventy-six-year history, the Brakettes are considered the most successful and longest-running organized women's sports franchise of all time. With forty national championships, three world championships and eleven Olympians, their dynasty remains synonymous with softball excellence. Likewise, the Connecticut Falcons were the most dominant team of the Women's Professional Softball League, winning the championship title all four years of the WPS existence. The most famous and iconic product of these two teams has been Waterbury's legendary Joan Joyce, who is considered by many experts to be the greatest female athlete in sports history. Join author Tony Renzoni as he interviews former players and highlights the accomplishments of these two renowned teams and their legendary athletes.

Nanoparticle catalysts continue to be in the spotlight due to their unique performances in various chemical processes. With rapid progress in nanoscience and technology, nanoparticle-mediated reactions can be carried out in different systems regarding both gas and condensed phases. Due to the doping, surface, volume, and quantum size effects, elements in nanoparticles exhibit properties which are rather different from the ones in bulk materials, thus possibly affording higher catalytic activity and selectivity for specific reactions. This Special Issue aims to show insight into the recent advances in nanoparticle catalysis and focuses on the advantages, limitations, and future directions of nanoparticle-mediated reactions in both chemical and biological systems.

Seit langem wird dem Sport eine förderliche Wirkung auf das Selbstkonzept, insbesondere im Kindes- und Jugendalter, zugeschrieben. Allerdings sind die entsprechenden wissenschaftlichen Befunde mittlerweile weit verzweigt und unübersichtlich. Dieses Lehrbuch gibt einen kompakten Überblick über die sportbezogene Selbstkonzeptforschung und ihre theoretischen wie empirischen Erträge. Im Mittelpunkt dieses zweiten Bandes steht die Darstellung der charakteristischen Mechanismen der Selbstkonzeptentwicklung und der differenzierten Zusammenhänge mit dem Sportengagement, um empirisch und schulpädagogisch gestützte Schlussfolgerungen für den Sportunterricht zu empfehlen.
