Icelandic Journal
ICELANDIC JOURNAL ICELANDIC JOURNAL BY ALICE SELBY EDITED BY A. R. TAYLOR VIKING SOCIETY FOR NORTHERN RESEARCH UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON 1974 Made and printed in Great Britain by Titus Wilson and Son Ltd., Kendal 1974 Viking Society for Northern Research This work is published simultaneously as Icelandic Journal by Alice Selby, edited by A. R. Taylor (Viking Society for Northern Research, University College London, 1974) and as Saga-Book of the Viking Society for Northern Research XIX i (1974). PREFACE TO ONE who in 1933 made a similar journey and who has always regretted the loss of his own diary from that time, it has given some pleasure to prepare the manuscript of Miss Alice Selby's journal for publication. I have tried to identify some of the people she met, but I am afraid a few of the identifications remain conjectural. Unfortunately I was unable to go to Iceland this summer and I have relied on works of reference and on enquiries made by letter. I wish here to record my sincere gratitude for information received from Mr Klemenz Tryggvason of the Hagstofa in Reykjavik, from Mr Bjarni VUhjalmsson of the I?j68- skjalasafn, from Mr Steindor Steindorsson of Akureyri, and above all from my -friend, Mr Eirikur Benedikz, of the Icelandic Embassy in London. If there are mistakes they must not be blamed: the responsibility is mine. I have not aimed at absolute consistency in the spelling of Icelandic place-names and personal names in the journal itself. The only Icelandic diacritic retained is the acute accent and that normally only over the letter "a" and in a few names seldom met with. -

During the period 2000- 2008 the share of tourism in GDP was 4.3% to 5.7%. One aspect of the tourist industry is hunting tourism, upon which limited research has been done and only fragmented information exists on the subject. The aim of this thesis is to estimate the economic impact of reindeer hunting on the hunting area. -

Sport in Iceland: How Small Nations Achieve International Success
Sport in Iceland Iceland is a tiny Nordic nation with a population of just 330,000 and no professional sports leagues, and yet its soccer, basketball and handball teams have all qualified for major international tournaments in recent years. This fascinating study argues that team sport success is culturally produced and that in order to understand collective achievement we have to consider the socio-cultural context. Based on unparalleled access to key personnel, including top coaches, athletes and administrators, the book explores Icelandic cultural capital as a factor in sporting success, from traditions of workmanship, competitive play and teamwork to international labor migration and knowledge transfer. The first book to focus specifically on the socio-cultural aspects of a small nation’s international sporting success, this is an original and illuminating contribution to the study of the sociology of sport. Sport in Iceland: How Small Nations Achieve International Success is fas- cinating reading for team sport enthusiasts, coaches, managers and organis- ers, as well as for any student or scholar with an interest in the sociology of sport, strategic sports development, sports policy or sports administration. Vidar Halldorsson is an assistant professor in sociology at the University of Iceland. Routledge Focus on Sport, Culture and Society Routledge Focus on Sport, Culture and Society showcases the latest cutting-edge research in the sociology of sport and exercise. Concise in form (20,000–50,000 words) and published quickly (within three months), the books in this series represents an important channel through which authors can disseminate their research swiftly and make an impact on current debates. -

The National Anthems of the European Countries Where Is 'Europe'?
The national anthems of the European countries Where is ‘Europe’? Jan Berting Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Erasmus Universiteit, Rotterdam. Recent publications: Fundamentalisme en democratie. De open samenleving en haar hedendaagse tegenstrevers, 2004, and Europe: a Heritage, a Challenge, a Promise, 2006. Our European national anthems express in very different ways the attachments of the European populations to their countries. Let us have in the first place a look on the central themes that come to the fore in the European anthems. The major themes of the national anthems themes are almost always connected with one or more other themes that play a secondary role or that have an explanatory function. Moreover, the very central role of the Lord in theme 3 see below) is less outspoken under the other themes or is left out altogether. Reading the texts of the European national anthems, it becomes very quickly apparent that the European background of these nations is never mentioned. Their belongingness to ‘Europe’ is perhaps taken for granted? Anyhow, the diversity of these ‘European’ anthems is very great, as is revealed by my analysis. The analysis of the European national anthems reveals that they are in several respects very different. Looking for the major themes that the national anthems express, I found eight different types of national anthems. 1. The anthems of the tiny states of Europe. The diversity of the national anthems starts here (4 cases). 2. The anthems that place in the forefront the beauty of the landscapes of the country to which their native populations belong (7 cases). -
