Mów lepiej po angielsku
This ebook was written by a native speaker of English to help Poles avoid the typical mistakes they always tend to make when they speak English. The author collected these mistakes over a 20 year period of teaching English in Poland. The mistakes, a result of thinking in Polish, are presented in the context of light-hearted, humorous dialogues between Graham, an English guy visiting Poland, and the various people he encounters whilst there. After each dialogue, the reader gets the opportunity to provide a corrected version of each mistake, and is then presented with a detailed explanation of why Poles make these mistakes and how to avoid them. The author still hears these mistakes on a daily...
What it Means to be a Herdsman
In this book, author Joachim Otto Habeck takes the reader to the tundra in the Far North of the Russian Federation, describing and interpreting the practice of reindeer herding on the land. His vivid account of the everyday life of Komi reindeer herders and their family members as they interact with their bosses, the town, the market and oil companies, reveals both the reach of their agency and its limitations. Through a meticulous analysis of each of these domains, Habeck shows how public discourse about reindeer husbandry as a traditional life-style derives from outside the Komi reindeer-herding communities, yet it has powerful effects on the local actors' ability to frame their own existence. He argues that the concept of tradition, despite its many positive connotations, places Komi reindeer herders in a "golden cage" which leaves no space for acknowledging their drive to innovation and flexibility.

The Outsider(s)
Irmtraut Eickelschaft plays in the upper league of nightmare bosses. In the ‘Shark Kingdom’ where she resides, staying one step ahead has as literal a meaning as it gets. When her fierce rival Nadia speaks during a tense meeting with Chinese investors in what sounds like perfect Chinese, she realizes that she has to act. That act pushes her from her life in her native Germany and lands her in Africa, a place she has so far only seen on TV. And not necessarily in good light. Philister Taa, barely surviving on Nairobi streets sets out for ‘Majuu’, a place where according to her ‘knowledgeable’ friend Tamaa Matano is the gateway to riches and success. The two women set out on a journey in opposite directions, to Germany and to Kenya. Two countries that have only one thing in common; their differences.
Weed Ecology and New Approaches for Management
Satisfying consumer needs through the production of healthy and nutritious agricultural products is a substantial challenge facing modern agriculture. However, agricultural production should be carried out with care for plant health, biological safety of products, and environmental safety while minimizing the risks to human health. Therefore, the implementation of agricultural practices while respecting these principles is very important for improving the quantity and quality of crops. Additionally, ecosystems have been altered as a result of human activities and climate change, resulting in the reduction of biodiversity and creation of new niches where pests can thrive. This is of particula...

East European Cinemas
Eastern Europe has produced rich and varied film cultures--Czech, Hungarian, and Serbian among them-whose histories have been intimately tied to the transition from Soviet domination to the complexities of post-Communist life. This latest volume in the AFI Film Readers series presents a long-overdue reassessment of East European cinemas from theoretical, psychoanalytic, and gender perspectives, moving the subject beyond the traditional area studies approach to the region's films. This ambitious collection, situating Eastern Europe's many cinemas within global paradigms of film study, will be an essential work for all students of cinema and for anyone interested in the relation of film to culture and society.
Cinema and the Environment in Eastern Europe
The annexation of Eastern Europe to the Soviet sphere after World War II dramatically reshaped popular understandings of the natural environment. With an eco-critical approach, Cinema and the Environment in Eastern Europe breaks new ground in documenting how filmmakers increasingly saw cinema as a tool to critique the social and environmental damage of large-scale projects from socialist regimes and newly forming capitalist presences. New and established scholars with backgrounds across Europe, the United States, and Australia come together to reflect on how the cultural sphere has, and can still, play a role in redefining our relationship to nature.
