Dwuizbowość jest zjawiskiem niejednoznacznym i kontrowersyjnym w teorii prawa i polityki. Przedmiotem monografii jest omówienie zagadnień dotyczących związku dwuizbowej struktury parlamentu i ustroju demokratycznego, rozumianego jako system ograniczenia władzy większości ze względu na prawa człowieka. W opracowaniu przedstawiono m.in. dawne i nowe dylematy dwuizbowości wiążące się ściśle z wyznaczeniem roli parlamentu w państwie. Autorzy wskazują jakie wartości przemawiają na rzecz dwuizbowości oraz czy parlament dwuizbowy dysponuje lepszymi możliwościami pokonania współczesnego kryzysu tej instytucji niż parlament jednoizbowy. Książka, aktualna zwłaszcza w okresie obchodów stulecia pierwszego posiedzenia Senatu II Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej, jest przeznaczona przede wszystkim dla polityków, w tym posłów i senatorów, a także pracowników naukowych oraz studentów prawa i politologii. Zainteresuje również dziennikarzy.

This three-volume encyclopedia, abridged from a 30-volume set in Hebrew and with a foreword by Elie Wiesel, chronicles Jewish life before and during the Holocaust. Arranged alphabetically by town, thousands of entries explore centuries of Jewish life. Some entries, particularly for large cities, provide information on Jewish residents as early as the Middle Ages and discuss the fate of Jews during the Black Death persecutions (1348-1349) and various pogroms from the 17th to 20th centuries. Each entry provides information on the town's Jewish inhabitants on the eve of German occupation, gives the dates of Jewish roundups and mass executions and estimates how many Jews from that community survived the war. Includes more than 600 black-and-white photographs.
