The doctoral thesis about Hieratikon of priest Lucian Petroaia brings to the researchers attention, the most important book of service of the orthodox priest. From a historical perspective, the author has carefully identified and investigated all editions of the Hieratikon printed in Romania, from 1508 to the present; from the point of view of analyzing the content of the Hieratikon, he follows the evolution of the order of the Holly Liturgy over 500 years, often comparing the text of the Romanian Hieratikon with that of the Greek Hieratikon and the Slavic Slujebnik. The interdisciplinary approach emphasizes the essential role that the Orthodox liturgical cult had for the assertion of Romanian culture, in the landscape of the European and Universal culture. Priest Lucian Petroaia is an associate professor in Liturgical Theology at the Faculty of History, Philosophy and Theology at Lower Danube University in Gala?i and at Justinian Patriarch Faculty of Orthodox Theology at University of Bucharest, Romania.
The purpose of this book is to highlight novel advances in the field and to incentivize scientists from a variety of fields to pursue angiogenesis as a research avenue. Blood vessel formation and maturation to capillaries, arteries, or veins is a fascinating area which can appeal to multiple scientists, students, and professors alike. Angiogenesis is relevant to medicine, engineering, pharmacology, and pathology and to the many patients suffering from blood vessel diseases and cancer, among others. We are hoping that this book will become a source of inspiration and novel ideas for all.

In 2012, The Library of Congress (Washington, D.C., U.S.A.) had the initiative of organizing an annual meeting which would disseminate the vision of library leaders on the importance of the book. The meeting would gather all the categories involved in the book industry: writers, publishers, editors, professors, librarians. The goal was to create a platform for discussions on how to promote the book as a crucial element for culture and education enhancement. The power of information and its dissemination was discussed within the first edition, while keeping the book as a central element in all debates. After this first edition, the Summit of the book was organized yearly in different locations throughout the world: Singapore (2013), France (2014), Egypt (2015) and Ireland (2016). The event had a powerful international impact and in 2017 the 6th summit was hosted in Brasov (Romania) at the "Transilvania" University. This volume is the collection of the most valuable contributions to the 6th Summit of the Book where experts presented their best practices and expertise in the history and technology of the book, knowledge support, and book dissemination.
Winner of the 2019 CEU Award for Outstanding Research This book documents the making of Romanian citizenship from 1750 to 1918 as a series of acts of national self-determination by the Romanians, as well as the emancipation of subordinated gender, social, and ethno-religious groups. It focuses on the progression of a sum of transnational “questions” that were at the heart of North-Atlantic, European, and local politics during the long nineteenth century, concerning the status of peasants, women, Greeks, Jews, Roma, Armenians, Muslims, and Dobrudjans. The analysis emphasizes the fusion between nationalism and liberalism, and the emancipatory impact national-liberalism had on the transitio...
The life (in fact the lives) of Vlad III the Impaller or Dracula is a Rorschach test. Everybody sees what they want to see in the “documentary stains”. And these “stains” are expanding. Based on research in the archives and libraries of Budapest, Dubrovnik, Genoa, Mantua, Milan, Modena, Munich, Rome, Venice and Vienna, the book focuses on the conflictive medieval, and modern images created by the clash between the classical pictures of Vlad and the still preserved coeval sources.
In a carefully crafted, multidisciplinary, skillfully focused format, Polymers for Vascular and Urogenital Applications covers attributes of polymers used for vascular, urological, and gynecological materials.

Un personaj de legendă, creat de unul dintre cei mai mari autori români de cărți polițiste. Într-un lac e descoperit un cadavru. Identitatea celui decedat e necunoscută. Din acest punct începe o nouă anchetă condusă de căpitanul Apostolescu. Investigația înaintează greu, între timp fiind deschisă o alta anchetă, la solicitarea Interpolului: trebuie capturat autorul unui jaf armat de la o bancă din Germania. În final, anchetatorii află că persoana descoperită în lac fusese asasinată, iar criminalul este identificat. Mobilul crimei se dovedește a fi unul abominabil.
La ancheta începută în urma unui incendiu se constată ca există o mare probabilitate ca acesta să fi fost provocat intentionat cu scopul ascunderii unei crime. De caz se ocupă căpitanul Apostolescu. Victima este o femeie în vârstă. Suspect principal e soțul acesteia, care o amenințase ca o va ucide pe motiv că femeia îl înșela. Însă și bătrânul este găsit decedat într-o cameră a locuinței incendiate. Se presupune că mobilul l-ar fi putut constitui jaful, iar ancheta îi vizează acum pe toți cei care ar fi putut avea acces în domiciliul victimelor. Survine însa un alt incendiu, provocat într-un mod asemănător cu cel dintâi, victima fiind tot o femeie în vârstă. Să fie vorba despre un piroman care își alege același gen de victime? Cele doua incendii sunt, oare, legate de un mobil similar? În final, căpitanul Apostolescu va reuși să dezlege ambele enigme, cea de-a doua având o rezolvare cu totul neașteptată.
