Between Past and Future
From the author of Eichmann in Jerusalem and The Origins of Totalitarianism, “a book to think with through the political impasses and cultural confusions of our day” (Harper’s Magazine) Hannah Arendt’s insightful observations of the modern world, based on a profound knowledge of the past, constitute an impassioned contribution to political philosophy. In Between Past and Future Arendt describes the perplexing crises modern society faces as a result of the loss of meaning of the traditional key words of politics: justice, reason, responsibility, virtue, and glory. Through a series of eight exercises, she shows how we can redistill the vital essence of these concepts and use them to regain a frame of reference for the future. To participate in these exercises is to associate, in action, with one of the most original and fruitful minds of the twentieth century.
Droga wojownika. Opowieści o twórcy GROM-u generale Sławomirze Petelickim zebrał Andrzej Wojtas
"Jego uścisk dłoni był niczym imadło, a spojrzenie niebieskich oczu przeszywało na wylot. Twierdził, że Pan Bóg nie lubi tchórzy. Stworzył GROM – jednostkę wojskową, która należy do najlepszych sił specjalnych na świecie. Generał SŁAWOMIR PETELICKI – wojownik, dowódca, legenda. Dżentelmen ceniący sobie honor i łobuz z szelmowskim uśmiechem. Uwielbiany dowódca, który bezgranicznie ufał swoim żołnierzom, i rogata dusza, której bezkompromisowość robiła mu wrogów. Droga wojownika to zbiór opowieści o człowieku, który dał Polakom powód do dumy w postaci GROM-u. Generała Petelickiego wspominają ludzie, którzy zetknęli się z nim na różnych etapach jego życia: szkolni koledzy, oficerowie wywiadu, twórcy służb specjalnych, dziennikarze i przede wszystkim towarzysze broni. Komandosi, którzy razem z nim budowali GROM i ci, którzy potem mieli szczęście służyć pod jego rozkazami. "
Historia Polityczna Polski 1989-2012
"Cztery prezydentury, osiem kadencji parlamentu. Wydarzenia rozciągające się od rozmów Okrągłego Stołu, aż do katastrofy smoleńskiej i drugiej kadencji Donalda Tuska. Historia polityczna Polski 1989–2012 to najbardziej aktualny i fachowy bilans dziejów III Rzeczpospolitej. Antoni Dudek – jeden z najlepszych polskich historyków i politologów – podejmuje rzetelną próbę ukazania współczesnej sytuacji politycznej. Śledzi losy liderów partyjnych i kierowanych przez nich ugrupowań. Rzuca światło na działania poszczególnych rządów oraz kontrowersje otaczające kolejne prezydentury: Lecha Wałęsy, Aleksandra Kwaśniewskiego, Lecha Kaczyńskiego i Bronisława Komorowskiego. Przypomina najważniejsze konflikty ostatniego dwudziestolecia i mierzy się z najbardziej aktualnymi problemami. Pisze przystępnie i rzetelnie. Przede wszystkim zaś stara się uczciwie szukać prawdy."
Positional Faithfulness
First published in 1999. This study developed from a dissertation in 1993, when the author undertook what she thought would be a simple Optimality Theory analysis of Shona vowel harmony. Having initially treated Shona height harmony as a case of featural alignment, akin to Kirchner's 1993 analysis of Turkish she realized that alignment constraints alone could not account for one central aspect of the Shona case: the priority of initial syllable features in determining the outcome of harmony. This volume of research outlines the authirs discoveries.

Cultural Analytics
A book at the intersection of data science and media studies, presenting concepts and methods for computational analysis of cultural data. How can we see a billion images? What analytical methods can we bring to bear on the astonishing scale of digital culture--the billions of photographs shared on social media every day, the hundreds of millions of songs created by twenty million musicians on Soundcloud, the content of four billion Pinterest boards? In Cultural Analytics, Lev Manovich presents concepts and methods for computational analysis of cultural data. Drawing on more than a decade of research and projects from his own lab, Manovich offers a gentle, nontechnical introduction to the core ideas of data analytics and discusses the ways that our society uses data and algorithms.
