Marie Sumner Lott examines the music available to musical consumers in the 19th century, and what that music tells us about their tastes, priorities, and activities. Her social history of chamber music performance places the works of canonic composers such as Schubert, Brahms, and Dvorak in relation to lesser-known but influential peers.

From small-town life to the world stage, Richard Lesher's inspiring tale is one of dogged determination. The son of an alcoholic and violent father in Depression-era Pennsylvania, Lesher worked his way through school, eventually overseeing NASA's vital technological transfer program during the race to the moon. His greatest achievement, however, was serving as president of the US Chamber of Commerce from the Ford through the Clinton administrations. Working closely with the presidents-especially Reagan-he modernized the Chamber over 22 years and dramatically expanded its national and international outreach. Believing strongly in the power of the free enterprise system, Lesher became a key voice and agent of economic change in former communist countries in the 1990s. Respected and admired by presidents, officials, and world leaders on both the left and right, Lesher has lived a hopeful and uniquely American story, a remarkable testament to personal perseverance and the ever-present opportunities in a free society.

A history of Austria's Chambers of Engineers This book is the first history of Austria's Chambers of Chartered Engineering Consultants from the foundation of the institution of chartered engineering consultants in 1860 up to the Ziviltechnikergesetz of 1957. In addition to tracing the history of the organization, the book tackles head-on the controversial issue of collaboration with the Nazi regime and the fate of those chartered engineering consultants who were persecuted. Selected biographies reveal the extent of the chambers' autonomy and show how members' careers were made and broken during this period, as well as discriminatory measures. A special concern of this book is to keep alive the memory of those chartered engineering consultants who fell victim to the Nazi regime. With this thorough and scientific reappraisal, Austria's Federal Chamber of Chartered Engineering Consultants has taken an important step in taking responsibility for its own history. An important contribution to the historical reappraisal of the Nazi period and the history of Austria's institutions Selected biographies of chartered engineering consultants With contributions by Ingrid Holzschuh, Inge Korneck, and Alexandra Wachter, as well as numerous historical illustrations and infographics Über die Geschichte der österreichischen Ingenieurkammern Das vorliegende Buch untersucht erstmals die Geschichte der österreichischen Ingenieurkammern und ihrer Mitglieder von der Gründung des Ziviltechnikerwesens 1860 bis zum Ziviltechnikergesetz 1957. Der Fokus liegt neben der Rekonstruktion der Organisationsgeschichte auf der Aufarbeitung der Kollaboration mit dem NS-Regime und dem Schicksal jener Ziviltechniker:innen, die verfolgt wurden. Ausgewählte Biografien machen Handlungsspielräume innerhalb der Kammern, Karriereverläufe und -brüche von Mitgliedern und Auswirkungen diskriminierender Maßnahmen sichtbar. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist dabei, die Erinnerung an jene Ziviltechniker:innen wachzuhalten, die dem NS-Regime zum Opfer fielen. Mit der wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung der Kammergeschichte übernimmt die Bundeskammer der Ziviltechniker:innen eine wichtige Verantwortung. Ein zentraler Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung der NS-Zeit und der Institutionengeschichten in Österreich Wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitung exemplarischer Biografien von Ziviltechniker:innen Mit Beiträgen von Ingrid Holzschuh, Inge Korneck und Alexandra Wachter sowie mit zahlreichen historischen Abbildungen und Infografiken
