Bodzia
Bodzia is one of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries of the post-war period in Poland. It is one of the few cemeteries in Poland from the time of the origins of the Polish state. The unique character of this discovery is mainly due to the fact that a small, elite population was buried there. The burials there included people whose origins were connected with the Slavic, Nomadic-Khazarian and Scandinavian milieus. For the first time the evidence from this area is given prominence. This book is designed mainly for readers outside Poland. The reader is offered a collection of chapters, combining analyses and syntheses of the source material, and a discussion of its etno-cultural and...
Czasy ''Solidarności'' na Uniwersytecie Jagiellońskim 1980-1989
Tom przynosi 26 rozmów z pracownikami Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego, członkami „Solidarności” w latach 1980–1989. Są to wspomnienia o zaangażowaniu rozmówców w ruch „Solidarności” na Uniwersytecie i w regionalnych strukturach „S”, o atmosferze panującej wówczas na Uniwersytecie oraz o działaniach, które zmieniły jego kształt nie tylko w owych latach, ale w sposób oczywisty wpłynęły na lata przyszłe. Niektóre rozmowy dotyczą także wydarzeń z okresu wcześniejszego, wszystkie jednak – takie bowiem przyjęto założenie – kończą się na roku 1989. Celem przedsięwzięcia było zarejestrowanie wspomnień z tego przełomowego okresu. W rozmowie ze mną rektor Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego Profesor Karol Musioł określił ten cel lapidarnie, niemniej jednak jasno: – „Chodzi o to, aby ten okres historii Uniwersytetu nie był opisany wyłącznie na podstawie akt Służby Bezpieczeństwa PRL-u. To będzie jeden z kroków ku temu”. Andrzej M. Kobos, fragment Wstępu .
Sprawa Wallenberga
Andrzej Michał Sielski Sprawa Wallenberga. Raoul Wallenberg pochodził ze znanej szwedzkiej bankierskiej rodziny. Ukończył architekturę w USA. Jako sekretarz Poselstwa Królestwa Szwecji w Budapeszcie w latcach 1944-45 uratował życie tysiącom Żydów, udzielając im dyplomatycznej opieki. Po wkroczeniu Armii Czerwonej do Budapesztu Wallenberg został aresztowany przez NKWD i wywieziony do Rosji. Mimo wielu dyplomatycznych interwencji kolejnych szwedzkich rządów, niestety mało zdecydowanych i nieskutecznych, nie udało się go odnaleźć. Dla odkrycia prawdy powstał w Szwecji Komitet Raoula Wallenberga, który nieprzerwanie, aż do dzisiaj, stara się odkryć prawdę i zmusić Rosj...
Art After Conceptual Art
Well-known art historians from Europe and the Americas discuss the influence of conceptualism on art since the 1970s. Art After Conceptual Art tracks the various legacies of conceptualist practice over the past three decades. This collection of essays by art historians from Europe and the Americas introduces and develops the idea that conceptual art generated several different, and even contradictory, forms of art practice. Some of these contested commonplace assumptions of what art is; others served to buttress those assumptions. The bulk of the volume features newly written and highly innovative essays challenging standard interpretations of the legacy of conceptualism and discussing the i...
Firm Competitive Advantage Through Relationship Management
Relationship management (RM) is an essential part of business, but its success as a business model can be hard to measure, with some firms embracing a model that is truly relationship-orientated, while others claim to be relationship-orientated but in fact prefer transactional short-term gain. This open access book aims to develop a mid-range theory of relationship management, examining truly relationship-orientated firms to discover not only what qualities these firms have that make them successful at the RM model, but also what benefits this model has for the firm. It addresses questions like how RM-mature companies achieve and sustain competitive advantage, and what determines the scale and scope of these firms, illustrating with case studies. This book will be of interest to scholars studying leadership and strategy, especially those interested in relationship management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It will also be of interest to professionals looking to develop their understanding of relationship management.

The Palace Complex
The Palace of Culture and Science is a massive Stalinist skyscraper that was "gifted" to Warsaw by the Soviet Union in 1955. Framing the Palace's visual, symbolic, and functional prominence in the everyday life of the Polish capital as a sort of obsession, locals joke that their city suffers from a "Palace of Culture complex." Despite attempts to privatize it, the Palace remains municipally owned, and continues to play host to a variety of public institutions and services. The Parade Square, which surrounds the building, has resisted attempts to convert it into a money-making commercial center. Author Michał Murawski traces the skyscraper's powerful impact on 21st century Warsaw; on its architectural and urban landscape; on its political, ideological, and cultural lives; and on the bodies and minds of its inhabitants. The Palace Complex explores the many factors that allow Warsaw's Palace to endure as a still-socialist building in a post-socialist city.
The Jewish Civilization
1100 pages. The Jewish civilization is one of the oldest on earth. It exists for four millennia and is likely to continue for a few more. It is defined by the ability of Jews to live among other civilizations and yet maintain a separate identity. What is this identity? Koneczny tries to answer this question in this volume. He points out that Jews have a double ethic, a different one in Palestine and a different one in the diaspora, a different one when dealing with Jews and a different one when dealing with gentiles. It struggles between monotheism and monolatry, the latter being a form of polytheism where there is a cult on one God and an acceptance that other peoples have other gods.Jews appear to be in all parties, on all sides of any conflict, but after the conflict is settled the Jews on the winning side make sure that no harm comes to Jews on the loosing site, regardless of what kind of believers or even atheists they are. This type of solidarity helps them to survive among the gentiles.
Presidential Activism and Veto Power in Central and Eastern Europe
This book examines the use of presidential powers in Central and East Europe between 1990 and 2010. Focussing on presidential vetoes and the formation of governments, it maps patterns of presidential activism and its determinants across nine democracies. Thereby, it combines the analysis of original quantitative data on the use of presidential powers with in-depth case studies in an innovative mixed-methods framework. Based on regression analyses and unique insights from numerous elite interviews, the study shows strong support for the hitherto insufficiently tested assumption that popularly elected presidents are more active than their indirectly elected counterparts. As one of the first comprehensive comparative studies of presidential activism and veto power in Europe, this book will be a key resource not only for area specialists but also for scholars of presidential studies, comparative government, and executives.
