Jerzy Einhorn was born the year that Poland gained independence after 123 years of partition and occupation by Austria, Germany and Russia. This was a happy time in Poland's troubled history and the author recalls the activities and friendships of a carefree childhood. As the years pass, dark clouds appear on Poland's western border. Jerzy enters a military academy and, two years later, on the eve of the German invasion, he is called up for active duty in the 78th Light Horse Artillery. Following the Battle of Warsaw in September 1939, the young lieutenant becomes a member of the AK (underground Home Army) where he works in counter-intelligence. In spite of his Jewish origins, he survives the occupation and, in 1944, fights in the Warsaw Uprising. Jerzy Einhorn relates his many experiences, some personal and some involving great risk and courage, during the tumultous years of World War II, a war which brought to an end a period of peace and liberty for all Poles.
W publikacji chciałam usystematyzować dotychczasową wiedzę o opakowaniu, a także zaktualizować ją o te obszary, które dotychczas nie były uwzględniane w rozpoznaniu naukowym. Jednoczenie nie uzurpuję sobie prawa, aby powiedzieć, że jest to najbardziej kompletne, jak i najbardziej aktualne dzieło, które znajduje się obecnie na rynku, gdyż ze swojego doświadczenia – zarówno jako naukowiec, jak i praktyk – doskonale zdaję sobie sprawę ze złożoności zjawiska, które starałam się uchwycić. Niemniej tą publikacją chciałabym przywrócić opakowaniu należną mu uwagę w obszarze nauk o zarządzaniu i marketingu, a także zainteresować tym tematem zarówno środowisko naukowe, jak i praktyków biznesu, pobudzając do dalszej eksploracji tematu, a także wymiany doświadczeń. Mam też nadzieję, że uda mi się zmniejszyć dysproporcje w postrzeganiu opakowań przez te dwa środowiska i trochę je do siebie zbliżyć. Mnie samej, jako młodemu naukowcowi i praktykowi, trudno było pogodzić te dwie perspektywy (naukową i biznesową), a usystematyzowanie tych zagadnień na tyle, aby podjąć się ich publikacji, zajęło mi kilka lat.
