"Polish liberal tradition has generally been considered weak or even non-existent. Janowski, on the other hand, argues that nineteenth-century Poland inherited a strong protoliberal tradition from the nobility-based democracy, and that in the mid-nineteenth century, liberalism was a dominant trend in Polish intellectual life, even if it rarely appeared in its pure form and did not create political movements separating liberal aims from patriotic ones." "Based on solid research, this comprehensive analysis applies a broad comparative perspective, taking into account the historical experience of other nations of Central Europe. Janowski's innovative interpretation may be the starting point for new debates in the ongoing discussion on the different perceptions of liberalism."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Antisemitism and Its Opponents in Modern Poland serves as an effective guide to some of the most complex and controversial issues of Poland's troubled past. Fourteen original essays by a team of distinguished Polish and American scholars explore the different meanings, forms of expression, content, and social range of antisemitism in modern Poland from the late nineteenth century to the present. The contributors focus on both the variations in antisemitic sentiment and those Poles who opposed such prejudices. Central themes of this significant, balanced, and timely contribution to a contentious and often emotional debate include the deterioration of Polish-Jewish relations in the era of national awakening for both the Poles and the Jews, the meaning of the various forms of violence against the Jews, intellectual movements in opposition to antisemitism, the role of the Catholic Church in promoting antisemitism, and the prospects for the Church to atone for this shameful chapter in its recent history.
The volume offers the first-ever synthetic overview of the history of modern political thought in East Central Europe.
In this multidisciplinary volume, leading historians provide new understanding of a time that sent shockwaves through Jewish communities in and beyond the Russian Empire and transformed the way Jews thought about the politics of ethnic and national identity.

The large number of Jews living in Polish lands had lived as a separate estate from the Poles until the mid-nineteenth century. Focusing on many long-term factors and one major event - the Revolution of 1905 - this book traces Poland's failed attempts to integrate its Jewish communities into the country's social fabric.
Table of contents
This book provides a summary of the author's long-term research on the properties of metallurgical slags. In the research, innovative methods of determining the properties of slags were used and the physicochemical and technological aspects of the input materials and materials obtained in the production process were taken up. On the basis of the work carried out, digital tools, physicochemical models and additional guidelines, which have not been used anywhere in the world so far, have been developed, which make it possible to determine the suitability of slags. The book contains innovative methods for determining refining capacity. Using the proposed formula, the user can determine the suitability of slag with 93% reliability. The book will be extremely valuable to people working in the metallurgical industry and students of faculties related to materials engineering. It will also be of interest for metallurgists, foundry workers and people working in research laboratories.
