Odnawialne źródła energii. Komentarz
Opracowanie jest praktycznym komentarzem do podstawowej ustawy regulującej zasady i realizującej kluczowe cele o charakterze klimatycznym, dotyczącej rozwoju i promocji wytwarzania energii ze źródeł odnawialnych. Najważniejsze regulacje dotyczą: • zmniejszenia negatywnego odziaływania na środowisko poprzez ograniczenie zależności od paliw kopalnych (węgla, ropy, gazu) oraz redukcję emisji gazów cieplarnianych; • zwiększenia bezpieczeństwa energetycznego kraju; • przyczynienia się do transformacji energetycznej i realizacji zasady zrównoważonego rozwoju oraz wzmocnienia alternatywnych źródeł wytwarzania energii elektrycznej, gazu i ciepła; • wspierania wytwórców prosumentów i tzw. energetyki rozproszonej. Książka szczególnie zainteresuje prawników zajmujących się obsługą prawną inwestycji w zakresie energetyki odnawialnej, a także inwestorów i przedsiębiorców z branży energetycznej oraz przedstawicieli organów administracji publicznej i innych instytucji zajmujących się tą problematyką

General Jurisprudence
This book explores how globalisation influences the understanding of law. Adopting a broad concept of law and a global perspective, it critically reviews mainstream Western traditions of academic law and legal theory. Its central thesis is that most processes of so-called 'globalisation' take place at sub-global levels and that a healthy cosmopolitan discipline of law should encompass all levels of social relations and the legal ordering of these relations. It illustrates how the mainstream Western canon of jurisprudence needs to be critically reviewed and extended to take account of other legal traditions and cultures. Written by the one of the foremost scholars in the field, this important work presents an exciting alternative vision of jurisprudence. It challenges the traditional canon of legal theorists and guides the reader through a field undergoing seismic changes in the era of globalisation. This is essential reading for all students of jurisprudence and legal theory.
Men, Masculinity and the Media
Although studies of men and masculinity have gained momentum, little has been published that focuses on the media and their relationship to men as men. Men, Masculinity and the Media addresses this shortcoming. Scholars from across the social sciences investigate past media research on men and masculinity. They also examine how the media serve to construct masculinities, how men and their relationships have been depicted and how men respond to media images. From comic books and rock music to film and television, this groundbreaking volume scrutinizes the interrelationship among men, the media and masculinity.

Socio-educational Factors and the Soft Power of Language
Anna Odrowąż-Coates shows that English, as a language of European integration and communication, has become an element of social status. In privileged social groups, its position has changed from a foreign language to a second language, which demonstrates a linguistic shift with long-term consequences. Socio-educational Factors and Soft Power of Language critically examines the cultural and individual implications of this phenomenon in the context of field study in Poland and Portugal. Odrowąż-Coates uses institutional ethnography with a combination of theoretical constructs, including “soft power” and “positioning theory,” to examine evidence of English as a new tool for social ...
Out of Play
2008 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title From beer ads in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue to four-year-old boys and girls playing soccer; from male athletes' sexual violence against women to homophobia and racism in sport, Out of Play analyzes connections between gender and sport from the 1980s to the present. The book illuminates a wide range of contemporary issues in popular culture, children's sports, and women's and men's college and professional sports. Each chapter is preceded by a short introduction that lays out the context in which the piece was written. Drawing on his own memories as a former athlete, informal observations of his children's sports activities, and more formal research such as life-history interviews with athletes and content analyses of sports media, Michael A. Messner presents a multifaceted picture of gender constructed through an array of personalities, institutions, cultural symbols, and everyday interactions.
