Książka jest pierwszą na polskim rynku publikacją, w której w sposób kompleksowy została omówiona problematyka niezależności władzy sądowniczej. Przeprowadzono w niej analizę aktualnych rozwiązań prawnych regulujących stosunek prawny sędziów sądów powszechnych, administracyjnych i Sądu Najwyższego. Autor przedstawia nośne w ostatnim czasie – zwłaszcza w orzecznictwie Trybunału Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej i Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka – pojęcie niezależności władzy sądowniczej. Rozważania przeprowadza jednak znacznie szerzej, obejmując ideowe i doktrynalne uwarunkowania tej koncepcji, jej genezę oraz ewolucję. Czytelników szczególnie powinny zainteresować uwagi dotyczące konstytucyjnych, unijnych, konwencyjnych i praktycznych uwarunkowań kształtowania modeli stosunku służbowego sędziego. Publikacja jest przeznaczona dla sędziów i legislatorów, a także adwokatów, radców prawnych, prokuratorów oraz pracowników naukowych zajmujących się omawianą tematyką.
A history of Americans who spied against their country and what their stories reveal about national security What’s your secret? American Spies presents the stunning histories of more than forty Americans who spied against their country during the past six decades. Michael Sulick, former head of the CIA’s clandestine service, illustrates through these stories—some familiar, others much less well known—the common threads in the spy cases and the evolution of American attitudes toward espionage since the onset of the Cold War. After highlighting the accounts of many who have spied for traditional adversaries such as Russian and Chinese intelligence services, Sulick shows how spy hunter...
King Lear, one of Shakespeare's darkest and most savage plays, tells the story of the foolish and Job-like Lear, who divides his kingdom, as he does his affections, according to vanity and whim. Lear's failure as a father engulfs himself and his world in turmoil and tragedy. He changes from king to beggar, and finally, to man, in a pattern of loss and discovery which reflects the archetype of tragic wisdom.
In Europeans and Africans Michał Tymowski analyses the cultural and organizational aspects of contacts of both sides on the West African coast in the 15th and early 16th centuries, and the creation of the image of ‘other’ – African for Europeans, and European for Africans.

In the wake of the Paris, Beirut, and San Bernardino terrorist attacks, fears over “homegrown terrorism” have surfaced to a degree not seen since September 11, 2001—especially following the news that all of the perpetrators in Paris were European citizens. A sought-after commentator in France and a widely respected international scholar of radical Islam, Farhad Khosrokhavar has spent years studying the path towards radicalization, focusing particularly on the key role of prisons—based on interviews with dozens of Islamic radicals—as incubators of a particular brand of outrage that has yielded so many attacks over the past decade. Khosrokhavar argues that the root problem of radical...

Egypt under the Romans (30 BCE–3rd century CE) was a period when local deserts experienced an unprecedented flurry of activity. In the Eastern Desert, a marked increase in desert traffic came from imperial prospecting/quarrying activities and caravans transporting wares to and from the Red Sea ports. In the Western Desert, resilient camels slowly became primary beasts of burden in desert travel, enabling caravaneers to lengthen daily marching distances across previously inhospitable dunes. Desert road archaeology has used satellite imaging, landscape studies and network analysis to plot desert trail networks with greater accuracy; however, it is often difficult to date roadside installatio...
