Człowiek, który zrozumiał naturę. Nowy świat Aleksandra von Humboldta
Na jego cześć nazwano miasta, rzeki, pasma górskie, prąd oceaniczny, pingwina, gigantyczną kałamarnicę, a nawet morze na Księżycu. Barwne życie Alexandra von Humboldta jest jak żywcem wyjęte z powieści przygodowej: zapuścił się w lasy deszczowe, wspiął na najwyższe wulkany świata, był podziwiany przez władców i prezydentów, uczonych i poetów. Inspirował Napoleona, Darwina, Bolívara, a nawet kapitana Nemo z powieści Juliusza Verne’a. Idee i odkrycia tego wielkiego naukowca zrewolucjonizowały i ukształtowały naukę, ochronę przyrody, politykę oraz sztukę. Andrea Wulf zabiera nas w fantastyczną podróż jego śladami – w wyścig przez Rosję zakażoną wą...
Conspiracy Theories and the People who Believe Them
Conspiracy theories are inevitable in complex human societies. And while they have always been with us, their ubiquity in our political discourse is nearly unprecedented. Their salience has increased for a variety of reasons including the increasing access to information among ordinary people, a pervasive sense of powerlessness among those same people, and a widespread distrust of elites. Working in combination, these factors and many other factors are now propelling conspiracy theories into our public sphere on a vast scale. In recent years, scholars have begun to study this genuinely important phenomenon in a concerted way. In Conspiracy Theories and the People Who Believe Them, Joseph E. ...

Bread and Autocracy
Food has been crucial to the functioning and survival of governments and regimes since the emergence of early states. Yet, only in a few countries is the connection between food and politics as pronounced as in Russia. Since the 1917 Revolution, virtually every significant development in Russian and Soviet history has been either directly driven by or closely associated with the question of food and access to it. In fact, food shortages played a critical role in the collapse of both the Russian Empire and the USSR. Under Putin's watch, Russia moved from heavily relying on grain imports to feed the population to being one of the world's leading food exporters. In Bread and Autocracy, Janetta ...
Descriptive Grammar and Diachrony of Kurima
Spoken on Kurima, a miniscule island in the Miyakojima municipality in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Kurima-Miyako is a South Ryukyuan topolect, a regional variant of the Miyako language. With most fluent speakers aged 80 or older and the island’s depopulation progressing, the topolect of Kurima faces imminent extinction, a reflection of a common pattern in the Ryukyus, whereupon the vernaculars of small islands and isolated remote areas have been facing multifold minorization for decades on the part of the dominant variety/varieties of the area (Shimoji and Hirara in the case of Kurima), Okinawan, and standard Japanese. Responding to the urgent task of producing a comprehensive description while it still has native speakers, the present volume is the first ever attempt at a systemic presentation of the Kurima topolect in any language. It also uses comparative evidence from Ryukyuan and Mainland Japonic languages to provide new proto-language reconstructions and offer insights into the history of Japonic languages.
