Resilience and Ageing
Understanding how creative interventions can help develop social connectivity and resilience for older people is vital in developing a holistic cross-sector approach towards ageing well. Academics with a wide range of expertise critically reflect on how the built environment, community living, cultural participation, lifelong learning, and artist-led interventions encourage older people to thrive and overcome both challenging life events and the everyday changes associated with ageing. The book uses a range of approaches, including participatory research methods, to bring the voices of older people themselves to the foreground. It looks at how taking part in creative interventions develops different types of social relationships and fosters resilience.
The Making of a Language
The book presents unique literature in a minority ethnolect – the Germanic dialect of Wilamowice in Southern Poland. The manuscripts, written in the ethnolect at the beginning of the 20th century, were discovered in 1989. The book contains full versions of several texts of various length written by Florian Biesik, who decided to create a literary standard for Wilamowicean in order to prove its non-German, but possibly Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, Flemish or Frisian origin. Thus it presents both the dialectal literature and the most important elements of the local culture during the final stages of its extinction.
"In the Ideals of Women is the Strength of a Nation"

Anthropology of Tourism in Central and Eastern Europe
In Anthropology of Tourism in Central and Eastern Europe: Bridging Worlds, Sabina Owsianowska and Magdalena Banaszkiewicz examine the limitations of the anthropological study of tourism, which stem from both the domination of researchers representing the Anglophone circle as well as the current state of tourism studies in Central and Eastern Europe. This edited collection contributes to the wider discussion of the geopolitics of knowledge through its focus on the anthropological background of tourism studies and its inclusion of contributors from Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, and Poland.
Polish Lace Makers
AnnaSznajder centers this ethnography of gendered creative practice in the lace-making community of Bobowa, Poland. Grounded in rural gender studies and feminist epistemology, Polish Lace Makers: Gender, Heritage, and Identity is a pivotal historical and modern account of the social and economic behaviors of entrepreneurial craftswomen tasked with preserving the originality and symbolic value of lace. Sznajder traces the evolving work strategies and occupational identities of this community from the early 19th nineteenth century up to the modern day, outlining the challenges of World War II, communist rule, and socialist Poland. The case studies included in this account are emulative of the larger struggle of female entrepreneurs to self-manage, innovate, create, and provide for themselves and their families. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and European studies.

This comprehensive volume provides historical background and comprehensive reviews of eight well-known prokaryotic inclusions.
Nocny ogień
Harry Bosch i detektyw Renée Ballard z policji Los Angeles ponownie łączą siły. Tym razem chodzi o sprawę morderstwa, na punkcie której obsesję miał dawny mentor Boscha, John Jack Thompson. Kiedy Harry był początkującym detektywem z wydziału zabójstw, Thompson udzielał mu inspirujących rad, nauczył go traktować pracę osobiście i nie odpuszczać w żadnej sprawie. Teraz mężczyzna nie żyje, ale po pogrzebie jego żona wręcza Boschowi akta sprawy, które John Jack zabrał ze sobą, gdy opuszczał policję 20 lat wcześniej — nierozwiązane zabójstwo młodego mężczyzny borykającego się z problemami, do którego doszło w uliczce, gdzie handlowano narkotykami. Bosch przynosi Renée Ballard akta zabójstwa i prosi, aby pomogła mu dowiedzieć się, co stało się ze sprawą, która tak zaintrygowała Thompsona lata wcześniej. Więź między śledczymi zacieśnia się, gdy zaczynają współpracować. Już wkrótce zadają sobie niepokojące pytanie: czy Thompson ukradł akta morderstwa, aby pracować nad sprawą na emeryturze, czy jednak by upewnić się, że nigdy nie zostanie rozwiązana?
Przerwa
